Business pledge

North East businesses have played a major part in helping Street Zero support people rough sleeping in Newcastle. We are incredibly grateful for the support we have received so far from leading organisations operating in our city.

Working together as a city, we can end rough sleeping for good. Today, we’re asking for your support. We’re asking you join us on the countdown to zero.

In 2020, we have:

  • Reduced the number of people rough sleeping by 74% from Jan 2020 – Jan 2021
  • Secured £2m extra government funding to help end rough sleeping
  • Given £57k to help the most vulnerable at the start of the COVID 19 outbreak
  • 117 new properties coming on stream by the summer of 2021
  • Signed up 1500 people to support the ‘count me in’ campaign
  • Won a North East Charity Award as our volunteer chair was recognised as leader of the year
  • Over 600 people prevented from falling into homelessness in 2020
