Marylebone Project

can be painful for so many of us, but today we're especially thinking of mothers who are struggling - like many of the women who are involved with the Marylebone Project.

Homelessness and motherhood can mean raising your children in a hotel room, having your children removed from your care, or going through the death of a child.

If you're having a hard day, we see you 💐

We’re incredibly proud of Mila for bravely sharing her story at the UK House of Lords
💜

Speaking at last week's Homeless Link Parliamentary Reception, Mila moved the room with her experiences of abuse, rough sleeping, and survival as an LGBTQ+ woman, "I remember choosing to buy lipstick over food once. The more vulnerable you look, the more at risk you are. It was survival."

Our Executive Manager Amy and Marketing Lead Fern joined to cheer Mila on and connect with other CEOs, leaders and MPs working to end homelessness.

Rushanara Ali, MP and Minister for Homelessness, even paid tribute to Mila, "I've had the pleasure to meet Mila at a previous event, and was privileged enough to hear her story of trauma and resilience. We have to make sure people who've experienced homelessness are central to everything we do. Thank you, Mila, for your work, and for bravely sharing your story."

With discussions on long-term funding for tailored and trauma-informed services like the Marylebone Project, the event left us cautiously hopeful for a future where no one is left behind.

Fancy taking on a fundraising challenge, but the thought of doing a Run puffs you out before you've even put your trainers on?

We bring you - the London Night Walk on Friday 14th March. Still challenging at 10k, half marathon or marathon distances, but much easier on the knees.

Women artists from the Marylebone Project are making their mark at the historic Marylebone Station!

These poignant artworks were created through our art therapy programme by women with lived experience of homelessness and are displayed with their consent.

The artists are deeply moved and proud to see their work showcased for the public. One client shared how meaningful it was to see her peers' art displayed on the walls of a station she once used as shelter during a difficult time.

The display runs until January 22nd - be sure to take a look if you're passing through.

Thank you Chiltern Railways and Make it Marylebone for making this happen.
