Identifying an Injustice
How do we identify social injustices that we believe are solvable from within our resources? Often the initiative comes from those who campaign for such people. They bring ideas to us and ask us to contribute our resources and skills as partners or as crusaders.
One example of this initiative is our very successful partnership in the Re-Unite project where Housing for Women had made a study of the injustices suffered by homeless mothers on their release from prison. They needed the support of our resources to create a role model solution. In this project, we were also greatly assisted by Baroness Corston's Corston Review which was published in March 2007 that fast tracked the analysis of the injustice.
We welcome ideas being brought to us. If you have beliefs that there is a social injustice in this country that could be alleviated by the provision of housing and support services, we would welcome an informal discussion with you.
Do remember that ideas, in their final form, must conform with our Project Preference Areas and our 10-Criteria but if you are not sure of how, don't worry; we are very happy to brainstorm with you to test how ideas could be made to work.
