🤝 Partner with Solo Housing – Make a Lasting Impact 💙

Since 1985, Solo Housing (East Anglia) has been supporting single people facing homelessness — providing not just housing, but stability, dignity, and hope 🏠✨

We deliver tailored housing solutions across East Anglia, from emergency and supported accommodation to permanent, low-cost homes. And we know lasting change happens together. That’s why we’re looking to build strong partnerships with:

✅ Local authorities
✅ Housing providers
✅ Landlords
✅ Voluntary and community organisations

By partnering with us, you help:

🏘️ Expand our Lodging Scheme — matching spare rooms with people in need

🌱 Deliver supported housing and skills development programs

🤝 Reach more people and create stronger, safer communities

Even as a small charity, our impact is big, and with your collaboration, we can do even more across East Anglia — Suffolk, Norfolk, Essex, Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire & Hertfordshire.
Let’s work together to condemn homelessness to history.

💻✨ Behind every great service is a team that never stops learning.

Over the past two months, our Business Support Officer, Rebecca Young, has been leading an ongoing Digital Skills Programme across Solo Housing, helping colleagues build confidence with everything from information management and Microsoft 365 to internal systems, digital security and everyday digital problem-solving.

The programme was developed following a digital skills survey and colleague feedback, ensuring support is tailored to real needs rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

Alongside workshops, colleagues can access one-to-one coaching and flexible self-directed learning to help them develop at their own pace.

Why does this matter? Because stronger digital skills help us work more efficiently, manage information more effectively and ultimately provide a better service for our customers.

At Solo Housing, we're committed to continuous improvement – investing in our colleagues so we can continue supporting people facing homelessness across East Anglia with confidence, professionalism and care.

After all, building skills today helps us create better outcomes tomorrow. 💙

A spare room can make a big difference.

Thank you to Breckland Council for helping us spread the word.

Supported by funding from The National Lottery Community Fund 🎟️, SOLO Cleaning provides training 🎓, qualifications and employment opportunities for people who have experienced homelessness 🏠 or housing instability 🏠. Through hands-on learning 🛠️ and dedicated support, we're helping people build confidence, develop new skills and move towards sustainable employment.

As part of our Fresh Foundations training 🎓, attendees recently learned about the importance of colour-coded cleaning systems 🧽 — a simple but essential professional standard that helps prevent cross-contamination and keeps environments hygienic and safe.

🟥 Red = Toilets & washrooms 🚻

🟨 Yellow = Sinks & bathroom surfaces 🚿

🟦 Blue = General areas including offices & living spaces 🏢

🟩 Green = Kitchens & food preparation areas 🍽️

Using the right cloths, buckets and cleaning products in the correct areas is a small detail that makes a BIG difference in professional cleaning standards ✨.

By creating training and employment opportunities through enterprises like SOLO Cleaning, we're helping people gain valuable skills, build self-confidence and take positive steps towards a brighter future 🌟.
