Why We Exist
At Mikdash, we’ve seen firsthand how children are discharged from hospitals only to return to mould-ridden, bare, or overcrowded homes. These environments not only delay recovery but contribute to long-term cycles of trauma, illness, and poverty.
Why We Exist
Over 1.1 million
children in England are living in overcrowded, temporary, or poor-quality housing
1 in 10
households in London are living in fuel poverty, unable to afford basic warmth.
Mental health
Children in the poorest 20% of homes are four times more likely to experience serious mental health problems.
£1.4 billion per year
Poor housing conditions cost the NHS an estimated £1.4 billion per year in preventable illnesses such as asthma, anxiety, and respiratory infections.
4.8 million people
Furniture poverty affects 4.8 million people in the UK—families forced to live without basic essentials like beds, fridges, or tables.
We exist to break that cycle.
We bridge the gap between healthcare and housing, showing that better homes lead to better health—and that dignity should never be a luxury.
We believe the home is the first line of defence in a child’s wellbeing. That’s why we’re here—to restore hope, build resilience, and create lasting change from the inside out.
Our Impact
By combining clinical expertise with interior design innovation, we:
• Improve health outcomes by reducing risks linked to poor housing, such as respiratory disease, mental health struggles, and developmental delays.
• Restore dignity and stability for vulnerable families, helping to break cycles of poverty.
• Relieve systemic pressure on the NHS, housing services, and social care by tackling root causes of ill health and instability.
We partner with health professionals, housing providers, local authorities, and community organisations to identify and support the families most at risk. Alongside our core housing transformations, we deliver wellbeing workshops, family support services, and upcycling programmes, empowering families with sustainable skills and stronger community connections.
Every Mikdash project creates measurable impact — healthier children, stronger families, and reduced long-term costs to public services.
Because children need more than just a roof over their heads.
They deserve a sanctuary.
