Changing Lives group chief executive, Stephen Bell OBE, said: -We value our partnership with hlw Keeble Hawson whose backing is instrumental in our work to engage with communities who are at the very edges of society - whether this be through rough sleeping, suffering from mental health problems - or experiencing exploitation and violence. Thank you to all the team at the Doncaster office for their continued support.
