Over the last few days, I have noticed that people have been discussing rough sleeping and the cold weather. There is even a news story online stating that rough sleepers will only be offered accommodation if they accept a Covid vaccination. I have been involved in homelessness for nearly two decades. I use to Chair a multi-agency panel looking at rough sleeping, begging and street drinking in Manchester city centre. I have also set up projects to help people off the streets and into accommodation, created homeless employment projects in construction, and set up children's libraries in homeless accommodation for families.
Great article, Nick 👍 I volunteered at homeless charity, Archer Project, for 15 months several years ago. I served the breakfast each morning before starting my day job. It was a very enlightening and eye opening experience. I saw firsthand some of the things you describe. It's very refreshing to me to hear such directness on the subject because in my shortlived experience it appears to be an heavily politicized area. I am really looking forward to learning more through your book (it finally turned up from Amazon very recently - my wife has bought it me for Christmas). Really looking forward to begining reading it on Christmas day🎄🎅 👍
