Why it matters: The waterfront-based property management company is supporting a charity that provides an alternative approach to homelessness, offering personalised help and accommodation rather than traditional services.
The details: Home From Home, a family-run business managing residential developments and apartment buildings across Ipswich and Suffolk, has chosen to support Selig Suffolk Springboard for this year's race.
The charity provides affordable, high-quality, self-catering supported accommodation for adults who would otherwise be homeless. Unlike other homeless charities, Selig offers personalised help for each individual, teaching them skills needed to find work and have a fresh start in life.
What they're saying: "Community and good quality housing is very much at the centre of our hearts," said a spokesperson for the company. "We very much admire this charity's positivity and proactiveness as well as the hard work they put into making a difference for every person that comes their way."
The bottom line: In their second consecutive participation in the Twilight 10k, Home From Home hopes to play its small part in addressing homelessness by supporting a local charity that focuses on long-term solutions rather than temporary relief.
