The Need We’re Addressing
Over 354,000 people are homeless in England (Shelter), including nearly 12,000 sleeping rough in London (CHAIN database). Only 11.6% of homeless individuals are employed (2021 Census), and refugees face high unemployment rates and lower wages (Breaking Barriers). Meanwhile, a spiritual revival is growing, with more young adults and ethnic minorities attending church and seeking ways to make a difference (Bible Society).
Light in Cake responds to both the challenges and the spiritual awakening by creating a space where faith, social change, and community converge.
