First birthday for Viv's Place 
September is a time of celebration for Launch Housing - marking one year of Viv’s Place, providing a fresh start for more than 60 women and 140 children escaping family violence and homelessness. It was wonderful to see families also joining in Book Week, with staff opening a costume shop and residents dressed as their favourite characters. Delicious crepes, games, and dancing were enjoyed by many.
