Homelessness Awareness Week 2026 at Ark Housing: Hope, Health and Home
This Homelessness Awareness Week, Ark Housing is focusing on the themes of Hope, Health and Home. Across our services, we are creating meaningful opportunities for families to connect, share and look ahead with positivity.
Mums and Tots: Hope, Health and Home
We are hosting a special Mums and Tots afternoon where parents and young children are invited to explore the themes of Hope, Health and Home together. Through gentle conversation and play, participants will have the chance to talk about what these ideas mean to them and their families. The session offers a supportive space for connection within our Ark Housing community and is open to our regular Mums and Tots participants.
Wishing Tree
In our family hostel, children are invited to take part in a special Wishing Tree activity. Young residents can write their hopes and wishes on stars, which will be hung on the tree. Once the tree is full, the stars will be collected and sent to Santa, carrying the children’s dreams with them. This activity is designed to bring a sense of hope and joy to families experiencing homelessness and forms an important part of our focus on the theme of Hope.
These activities are for residents of Ark Housing and are not open to the public. They form part of our wider commitment during Homelessness Awareness Week to supporting families with care, dignity and a sense of possibility.
We are grateful to everyone involved in helping make these moments possible and look forward to sharing the themes of Hope, Health and Home throughout the week.
