He opened his eyes and smiled when I arrived & held his hand out to be held. He wanted to know why I had come to see him tonight whilst he was asleep on the streets.
Thinking he is still on the streets sleeping broke me! 😢
See you tomorrow my friend 🧡

In London, 24,400 commercial properties currently sit empty.
22,500 of those have been empty for 6+ months.
That's 6,500,000m², or 27 Westfield Shopping Centres of floorspace, sitting empty, unused.
Why are people sleeping rough?
Why indeed.

More than 1,000 people are being made homeless every single month. 1 in 200 people are either living in temporary accommodation or sleeping rough - this is around 320,000 people. This is a national scandal which the government are wilfully fuelling through dire political choices.

In light of #BritanniaHotels shameful cancellation of the #homeless Christmas booking this year, I've donated to 'Safe Xmas for the homeless in hotel' to find an alternative. - gf.me/u/pc3q6j via @gofundme

Huge huge thank you to @birmingham_live for meeting with a son and his 87-year old mum who came to @letsfeedbrum last night after being forced to sleep on the streets the night before. We are desperately trying to help them! birminghammail.co.uk/news/mi…

Yesterday I saw @streetskitchen Clapham Common in action. These self-funded people provide food and essential items to the homeless in the local area of SW4-ish. Do you want to support and do you or your contacts have storage (corner of a cupboard) to share? #Homeless #clapham

One of the saddest stories I've reported on. Marvin is disabled and homeless. He’s been put in a temporary house in Salford with no disabled toilet, no downstairs bedroom, no stairlift or walk-in shower. He can’t use his electric wheelchair because the doors are too narrow.

Our #SolidarityCentre is hardly open an hour and we have already given out 4 tents & 3 sleeping bags to those who really need them and plenty of toiletries..
Send people our way if they are in need
It's not much, but it's something

Handed out tonight from our StreetShop:
20 x Toiletry Kits
1 x Sanitary Kit
7 x Shorts
10 x Vests
No tents! Nobody needed one tonight, thankfully. They've gone back to HQ to go back out tomorrow.
Plus loads and loads of food and drinks!
😍😍😍
