We helped fund special ‘treat nights’ for a homelessness scheme in Surrey, and the results have been incredible.
What started as a simple request for a pizza night turned into a series of collaborative meals that brought residents together. By planning menus and shopping lists as a team, residents who usually stayed in their own rooms began to talk, laugh, and build genuine friendships.
One support worker shared: “This is the most animated and excited that I have heard them as a group.”
Beyond just a meal, these nights are about building relationships, peer support, and combating isolation. A simple treat might seem small, but it’s a powerful tool for boosting mental health, restoring hope, and turning a house into a home.
