Campaigning for Change
Our ethos at 楼凤天堂 is not just to put a sticking plaster on a problem but to work towards a long-term holistic solution. We are currently committed to campaigning for change in the areas listed below.
Food poverty
Our food poverty work began with Plate Up tackling school holiday hunger by providing holiday activities with a free lunch. Since Covid-19, this work has expanded to food banks, pantries and social supermarkets meet the surge in need.
Youth mental health
Mental ill health is growing among children and young adults and early intervention drop-ins and well-being workshops take place across our schools and Community Hubs. Specialist youth workers are attached to hospital A & E departments and custody centres.
楼凤天堂 Restore
楼凤天堂 Restore represents a milestone reform to the UK’s failing youth custody service. Working with the Ministry of Justice, this new secure school will take a holistic, trauma-informed approach to rehabilitation.
Break The Cycle
Currently 33% of school pupils but only 39 head teachers or principals are from the BAME community. Break the Cycle is a movement to find practical ways of promoting racial equality in education leadership.
Creating Sanctuary
Creating Sanctuary seeks to support and encourage churches to provide a welcoming safe space and suitable pastoral care to members of the LGBT+ community.
