049. Amber Lights | Shining A Light On Homelessness

049. Amber Lights | Shining A Light On Homelessness

In this episode, I’ll be chatting with the inspiring Amber Lights.

Amber is the founder of Amber Lights in Oxford which was created in memory of her sister Hannah. Hannah was her big sister who never failed to make her laugh and was always there when she was struggling.

From late 2015 through 2017, Hannah’s struggles saw her seek the help of multiple homeless charities within Oxfordshire including Homeless Oxfordshire.

During this time, she sought comfort from the services they provided and began to rebuild her life. Sadly, Hannah passed away in 2017.

In Hannah’s memory, Amber Lights in Oxford was set up to support Homeless Oxfordshire and the fantastic work they do. Homeless Oxfordshire is the largest supported accommodation provider for homeless people in Oxfordshire.

Each night they accommodate over 200 people. Alongside this, they provide day services, hot food, clothing, toiletries and welfare facilities to over 550 individuals who access their services throughout the year.

Today, Amber and I are discussing homelessness and the stigma, judgement and misunderstandings that surround this situation, which could honestly happen to anyone, at any time and for many reasons.


Highlights:

👉 Amber shares hers and Hannah’s story

👉 Amber Lights in Oxford & Homeless Oxfordshire

👉 How a person can become homeless

👉 What support is available to a person experiencing homelessness

👉 Addiction & homelessness
