Para 1.17 | Connected Homeless is a charitable incorporated organisation established to relieve the needs of people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness in the United Kingdom and internationally, by connecting them with food, shelter, employment, healthcare and digital tools that help them rebuild their lives. Key objectives include: providing direct material assistance and signposting to people sleeping rough; developing and operating digital platforms that connect rough sleepers and people in temporary accommodation with the support services, donors and volunteers most relevant to their situation; raising public awareness of the causes and consequences of homelessness; and partneringwith other |
| charities, public bodies and businesses to deliver more effective,dignified support. |

Para 1.17 and 1.19 | During the period, Connected Homeless continued to operate as a small, volunteer- led CIO focused on the design, build and pilot operation of a connection platform between rough sleepers and frontline support services. The charity used donor funds and a small number of restricted grants to cover the core technology, communications and outreach costs needed to keep the platform running and to test new features with people with lived experience of homelessness. Activities in the year included: maintaining the charity's mobile applications infrastruction, website, contact channels and online giving infrastructure; carrying out small-scale outreach and street-based engagement in the UK. |

Para 1.20 | The 2024-25 financial year was a transitional year for Connected Homeless. The main achievements of this year were advancing our technical capabilities and increasing our resilience to support even more homeless users. |
We expanded the feature sets of our applications to provide even more support for homeless users. And also created open repositories that anyone can access without having to be an onboarded Connected Homeless client. This massively increased the number of people we're able to deal with as a small charity. We've leaned into the power of AI to accelerate our development cycle, whilst maintaining a core focus on privacy and security. This sets us up for a very exciting future, where we can deploy new features at speed to reach thousands of people across the country in a hyperpersonalized manner.
