Having a stable home plays a crucial role in enabling people to lead independent, successful lives, and contribute positively to society. However, for many people and for many reasons, maintaining a safe, secure home is not always possible without help.
Taking place in October each year, our Life Begins at Home campaign highlights the many reasons why people may face difficulty in maintaining a stable home, and raises awareness of the services in Wales that are available to help.
In recent years, the campaign has centred around an art exhibition with artwork on the topic of ‘home’ submitted by people who are receiving support from our members. This has proved extremely popular and has unearthed some hidden talents.
Last year, we decided to run an online campaign to help us communicate the campaign messages more widely. We asked people to write down what home means to them, take a photograph and share on social media using #lifebeginsathome
Over 250 people took part in the campaign, with an overall social media reach of more than 300,000.
