The Spark approach

Using the power of business, Spark aims to encourage a new way of thinking so that organisations operating in the homelessness sector are sustainable, no longer dependent on sporadic funding and can make a real difference in preventing and tackling homelessness.

The social enterprises that come from Spark will create employment, training, housing opportunities, wealth and, above all, a future for homeless people all over England.

Two of Spark’s partners, The TREES Group and Big Issue Invest are great examples of successful social enterprises. Read more about their stories here:
