Breaking the Cycle of Homelessness 

Through the Randal Charitable Foundation’s partnership with LoveBrum, Standing Tall has been able to provide employment and housing opportunities to six people experiencing homelessness in Birmingham. Funding contributed to the salary of Joel Webster, Birmingham’s Talent Scout, who is working tirelessly to match individuals into stable jobs and safe homes. With 80% of those supported still off the streets and in employment after one year, this initiative is creating long-term, life-changing impact. One of those lives transformed is Emeka’s. Having fled political violence in Nigeria, Emeka faced uncertainty in Birmingham. But through Joel’s support, he secured a full-time role with Living Well UK – and today, he’s thriving. This is what real change looks like.

Thank you to all our partners for making this possible.

Their advice helpline is available five days a week (9am-5pm) for anyone experiencing or supporting someone through domestic abuse, human trafficking, or forced marriage.
