HOMED
HoMED is a Community Project that aims to increase awareness of the complex health and social problems associated with homelessness, such as drug and alcohol addiction, prostitution and mental health problems, to educate about homelessness and social exclusion, and to challenge prejudice and stereotypes. We aim to create strong links between Georges and local organisations that work the homeless. We provide lots of opportunities throughout the year which enable students to volunteer, and gain skills and understanding that will be useful for future practice, and in doing so, contribute to more positive outcomes in South London. This is particularly important as rates of homelessness are increasing each year right on our doorstep.
