We know the importance of good employment as a means to ensure security and fulfilment in our lives. For people experiencing or at risk of homelessness, that is even more important. This is why we have been so committed to supporting the Charter, and working towards full membership. We are very proud of this achievement, and hope it will inspire other organisations including those we work with to sign up as supporters of the charter and lead the way on good employment.
