and relies entirely on community support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Head of Fundraising at The Archer Project, Joe Rogan, said: <em>\u201c<\/em>Homelessness is more than just a housing issue, it\u2019s deeply linked to health and trauma.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Studies show that 94% of people facing homelessness have experienced trauma, whether through adverse childhood experiences, PTSD, or other challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He added: \u201cEvents like this help us provide essential support to those in need.&#8221;<em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2024 alone, The Archer Project  supported 1,223 people and served over 24,000 meals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Money raised from Legends Night will directly support The Archer Project\u2019s core services, including its social enterprise, Printed by Us, which provides employment opportunities for people who have experienced homelessness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\"
