Behind the beautiful Georgian facade of Bath and the stunning surrounds of Bath and North East Somerset, homelessness – or the threat of it – is a problem facing a growing number of people.

There are over 4,000 on social housing waiting lists in the region and house prices are 14 times average earnings.

The issues go far deeper than the number of street homeless. There are countless individuals sofa-surfing, families housed in B&Bs and others in unsuitable temporary accommodation.

But, there is help available. This film, commissioned by St John’s and created by Meaningful Films, shows the realities of homelessness and the incredible work that is being done by local organisations to help. We witness first-hand the difference that support staff and volunteers make to those struggling to keep a roof over their head.

Meet the filmmakers and the organisations involved at the pre-screening networking event and get involved in the Q&A afterwards.

We would be delighted if you would join us for the premiere of the film at Komedia on Wednesday 13th November.

Doors open at 5:30pm for pre-screening networking.

Film starts at 6:30pm.

Q&A at 7pm.

You can watch the trailer for the film here.
