S5 - Episode 5 - HomeLess Made
In this episode Simon and Murphy speak to Michael Angus - Director of HomeLess Made in London.
About Homeless Made
HomeLess Made is a social enterprise created by Barons Court Project - the only drop in centre in Hammersmith and Fulham to support people living with homelessness or with mental health conditions.
Barons Court’s guests create art together at the centre, as a way of tackling isolation. Some of these artists' work is so beautiful, they decided to try selling it on greetings cards, and were overwhelmed by the response! HomeLess Made was born.
Even selling one card can bring a huge boost of self-esteem, which empowers an artist to take the next step in pursuing a creative career. HomeLess Made works with artists to create commercial opportunities for their artwork and offer the support they need to create their art - including materials and a safe, quiet space to work.
All profits made by HomeLess Made are split 50/50 between the artists and Barons Court Project. This empowers each artist to earn income for themselves, and raise funds for the services they use, and helps to ensure the sustainability of the HomeLess Made programme.
