Kirsti Wilson and Vicki Lewis from Launchpad attended our March Thames Valley regional conference as our partner charity, and we thought you might like to know more about this amazing charity which has been supporting vulnerable people in Reading since 1979.
Launchpad is Reading’s leading homelessness prevention charity, providing vital information and support for individuals, couples and families who don’t have a stable place to live or are at risk of losing their homes. Their offices have stayed open throughout the pandemic, and last year they helped over 800 people in housing crisis in Reading to get back on their feet.
