What a fantastic evening at Royal Windsor Racecourse yesterday representing EHSL Supported Housing as Charity Race Day Partner. It was wonderful to see one of their popular race nights in action, meet so many supportive people, and raise awareness of the work we do at EHSL. We are incredibly grateful to everyone at Windsor Racecourse for their support and hospitality. It's a fantastic venue, and we were proud to be part of such a special evening. If you'd like to support EHSL and help us continue our work, donations can be made via our JustGiving page every contribution, no matter the size, makes a difference.

“For a long time, my life felt out of control. Everything changed when I moved into supported living. For the first time, I had stability. I had staff who didn’t give up on me and support that helped me slowly rebuild myself. But just as important, I found something in myself - the willingness to change. With support and hard work, I stopped taking drugs. I stopped drinking. I learned how to manage my epilepsy and my emotions. It hasn’t been easy, and it didn’t happen overnight. But my life today looks nothing like my life before. ”

“Before moving into supported housing, my life was very unstable. I struggled to manage daily tasks and often felt overwhelmed and unsafe. My housing situation was uncertain, which increased my anxiety and made it difficult to focus on my wellbeing. I had limited support and often felt isolated, unsure where to turn when things became difficult. Supported living has given me stability and a safe place to live. Having my own accommodation, alongside regular support, has helped me feel more secure and less anxious.”
