In-Person - Hope into Action's Annual Conference 2026: Rooted - Milton Keynes
@The Ridgeway Centre, Milton Keynes
Homelessness is more than houselessness. The loss of accommodation is often accompanied by the trauma of broken relationships and damage to someone’s sense of identity. Homelessness means being disconnected and uprooted.
Hope into Action’s approach to ending homelessness recognises this. It’s why every one of our houses is partnered with a local church who offer friendship and support to our tenants. Accommodation is vital - but so are relationships and a sense of connection with others. We believe homelessness ends in community.
Our keynote speakers will explore our roots as an organisation and the core Christian principles that underpin our work, and tenants will share about what this has meant in their lives. There will also be a wide range of inspiring seminars about how we stay rooted in hope and help others find those roots too.
