Today marks an important moment for the UK as Andy Burnham steps into the role of Prime Minister.

Leadership changes always bring an opportunity to refocus on what matters most: people, communities and the systems that exist to support them.

In homelessness services, we see the impact of national decisions every day. A renewed emphasis on unity, hope and devolving power back to communities aligns with the principles we lead by ensuring people remain at the centre of every conversation, every service and every outcome.

At The Ferry Project, our commitment is clear: deliver safe, dignified, effective support that empowers individuals and strengthens communities.

If this new chapter brings greater attention to community‑led solutions and stronger local decision‑making, we stand ready to contribute our experience, insight and partnership.

Wishing the new Prime Minister well as he begins this chapter.

Our focus remains unchanged people first, always and we look forward to working alongside national and local partners to ensure every community has the chance to thrive.

Sandra Ferreira - CEO Ferry Project
