#NoticeUs Campaign Update: Progress and Next Steps
Our #NoticeUs campaign is driving meaningful change for people living in temporary accommodation (TA). We’ve been advocating for two key goals: fair notice periods for those in TA and ensuring all TA properties have access to WiFi.
​
We’re thrilled to share that we’ve successfully secured WiFi for TA residents! This milestone is a significant step toward improving living conditions and connectivity.
​
Now, we’re focusing on fair notice periods. To tackle this issue, we’re collaborating closely with Greenwich Council to explore practical solutions. Together, we’ve hosted workshops and facilitated a forum with the
Housing and Safer Communities Team, opening the door to constructive dialogue and progress.
​
In addition, we’re working on a creative animation in partnership with Plumcroft Primary School. This exciting project explores the impact of living in TA on children’s mental health, highlighting their experiences through a powerful and imaginative lens.
​
Thank you to everyone for supporting the #NoticeUs campaign and to the invaluable support from Trust for London, Disrupt Foundation, University of Greenwich and Citizens UK.​
What are we asking?
We are now working alongside Greenwich council to achieve our asks:
​
1. Eviction notice periods: develop reasonable and fair eviction notice period charter that allows families to properly prepare themselves and their children to move
​
2. Length of stay: give families an indication of how long they will be in temporary accommodation so that they can plan their lives
3. Wifi: make sure that everybody in temporary accommodation has access to wifi​​
nurture love
speak the truth
seek justice and freedom
From doing listening in our community, we know families in temporary accommodation face eviction without notice and struggle to access WiFi. This has a negative impact on our children. This is why we started our #NoticeUs campaign.
We shared our stories and took creative action to raise these issues with Greenwich Council. We won a commitment from the Council to start a pilot programme giving SIM cards to people in temporary accommodation, featured in Greenwich Info here.
This win is the fruit of collaboration with Greenwich Council. It shows the power of decision makers and community leaders working together. We are determined to keep working in this way on eviction notice periods.
Thank you to Council Leader Anthony Okereke, Pat Slattery, Shaun Flook, and all of the Greenwich Council staff who worked together with us to achieve this important win.

Our Participatory
and Creative Approaches
In October 2021 we presented our first public action through The Shoe Shop, an online performance co-created by the Stronger Together Leaders with the support from the amazing Rachel Griffiths, creative practitioner and theatre maker who is also part of South London Citizens.
This was made possible thanks to the invaluable support of Citizens UK and University of Greenwich.
