Standing Tall CIO

Description

Standing Tall is a Birmingham-based CIO set up by Christy Acton, who previously founded a night shelter where he matched individuals experiencing homelessness with businesses willing to give them a chance.

In response to that experience, he developed Standing Tall’s two-pronged approach: providing jobs and a stable home for people experiencing homelessness.

Standing Tall is using support from The Fore to employ a Programme Coordinator in Bristol, where the charity is setting up a new hub.
