Good4you is the only organisation in Britain that addresses the special problems resulting from being simultaneously Homeless and Disabled. We also work with people who are either disabled or homeless. ABOUT US The concept of negative synergy is patently clear in "drinking and driving", together. Two things, put together, create new problems and dangers that do not exist if you drink or drive, seperately. The term "Twice Excluded People" refers to those who are socially excluded because of Disability, and because of Homelessness. Social exclusion simply means that a door of opportunity is shut in ones face, and in a city of 8 million people, like London, it can happen that 8 million doors are shut in ones face. It is then that one sleeps "Out of Doors". Our research has shown that more than half of homeless people are disabled people. The Government of Britain has never asked how many disabled people are homeless. No-one knows, because no person or organisation in Britain has even recognised the problem. No-one asked, except Good4you.
We are committed to help the homeless, and other socially deprived people, empower themselves to become more self reliant and integrate into society by giving them an avenue into homes, jobs and a source or support.
