HeadBox Social Mission
Homelessness in the UK
In 2017 it was estimated that almost 5,000 slept rough on any one night in England. This number has increased by 169% since 2010.
In venue terms, that’s enough people to fill:
2 London Palladiums
1/4 of the O2 Arena
2 St. Paul's Cathedrals
HeadBox and St. Mungo's
-
Our Social Mission is "to help provide space to people who don’t have it". So we’re thrilled to partner with leading homelessness charity, St Mungo’s.
-
They are on a mission to ensure that everyone has a place to call home and can fulfil their hopes and ambitions.
-
As one of the largest providers of Outreach services for people who sleep rough in England, St Mungo's work tirelessly to offer a route out of homelessness, towards recovery.
-
Through embodying their values of empowerment, inclusivity, commitment, creativity and accountability, St Mungo’s put the people they work with first.
We're pledging our support in four main ways:
-
Encouraging our corporate clients to donate a portion of their HeadBox Business rebate straight to St Mungo's.
-
Facilitating online donations at the check out page on every booking completed on the HeadBox marketplace.
-
Providing support to the St Mungo's Events team and engaging our Host community to support their 2018 events programme.
-
Volunteering our time each quarter during the working week and physically supporting St Mungo's in a variety of ways.
