‘Jamal’ – Searching for Homeless Support

A bearded man in a hoodie and beanie gazes to the left. Text beside him explains his story of homelessness due to job loss and relationship breakdown. He struggles to find local support. Below, text reads: "Connecting Communities - 1 Click at a Time." Logo for aDoddle.org in the corner. The overall theme of the image appears to be raising awareness about homelessness and the importance of local support, highlighting the story of an individual named Jamal to illustrate the issue. The image promotes the idea of connecting communities and that aDoddle.org - a community mapping organisation, have created the UK's first network of community maps, to connect people to the communities they live in.


Meet 'Jamal'


Jamal has been homeless for 3 months, due to a breakdown of his relationship after being made redundant.

He is frustrated, as many of his local statutory organisational contacts are not able to show him up to date information about local support groups in his area.
