Adam Gribbon Sleeps Rough for Housing Rights Service
Housing Rights Service is delighted that Adam McGibbon, Vice President Welfare at Queens Students Union, has chosen to sleep rough in support of their work.
Adam, who will spend the night on Belfast’s streets on the 14 March, is keen to get a real sense of what it means not to have a roof over your head. “I am very lucky in that I have somewhere to go home to every night; I know that many people in Northern Ireland are not so fortunate. Homelessness is a growing problem in Northern Ireland and I want to play a role in trying to address that so I am aiming to raise £1000 for Housing Rights Service. Please help support me this very worthy cause” Support Adam

As the latest Northern Ireland Court figures for repossession are published, the Minister of Justice and the Minister for Social Development have welcomed the launch of a new video aimed at encouraging people threatened with repossession to attend their court hearing.
The short video which was produced by Housing Rights Service, and funded by the Northern Ireland Courts & Tribunal Service, emphasises the importance of attending court and provides useful advice and information to assist people through every step of the process.
Janet Hunter, Housing Rights Service Director said “In the last three months the number of homeowners contacting us for help because they are threatened with repossession has doubled. We know first hand that most people do not attend their court hearings. This video aims to address people’s fears and to let them know that attending court is vital and can greatly improve their chances of keeping their home.”
