We are mad busy at the moment.

Rough sleeping is at a massive high, its truly scary what's going on
In addition its been raining for about 800 years
People are really going through it

If you are feeling it today here is a pic of Isha, one of the museum dogs as a timeline cleanse 💜

Join us for our sober wassail today!
Bless our fruit trees and set excellent vibes for 2026!
We start with a talk on the history of wassailing by Adam Hemmings and then the wassail itself.
If time allows, depending on how rambunctious the wassail is, we will have a pruning workshop too

What is needed to fix homelessness in 2026? Efforts to tackle homelessness in 2026 will see the Vagrancy Act finally scrapped. But politicians must make it more than a symbolic gesture.

🗞 "We need a stepchange in how we deal with homelessness."

Our codirector Jess Turtle wrote the New Years opinion piece for The Big Issue saying what is needed from politicians in 2026:

Lots of people were sleeping out on the streets during that winter and it was a very cold one.

What a strange and difficult Christmas that was for so many people.

What are your memories of that winter?

On this day 5 years ago MoH crew were out on the deserted streets of the West End in the winter lockdown, checking in with people and organizing supplies.

It was eerie with all the decorations left up even though the shops and businesses were shut.

Delighted to say that @libertyhq.bsky.social is now our lead charity partner on the Rebellion! project, exploring and celebrating the importance of peaceful protest as an essential part of our cultural identity in the face of draconian anti-protest legislation from successive governments.
