In England, 114,790 households applied to their local authority for homelessness assistance in 2015/16; an 11 per cent rise since 2010/11. Rough sleeping in London has more than doubled since 2010.

We believe secure, paid employment is the best route out of poverty. It gives people the opportunity to realise their full potential. It enables communities to break the cycle of benefit dependency. And it's the best way to guarantee the future for young people.

We want to equip young people with the schools to success in life, and give them the opportunity to develop their talents and make the most of their potential.

There are over 11 million people in Britain with a long term illness or disability. It is our belief that care is at the heart of a decent society, and that everybody should have the chance to play a full part in their community.
