With the rate of homelessness in the UK increasing year on year maybe it's time we looked at other resolutions?

[TakeOneLeaveOne @Take1_Leave1]

Homelessness in the UK has increased by over 130% in the UK since 2010.

In the USA it has increased significantly over the last 3 years.

In Finland it has fallen by 35% since 2010. The Finnish government is now aiming to abolish homelessness altogether.

Makes for an interesting read and really highlights the true extent of the problem here in the UK.

Help us make a difference. Help doesn’t always have to be handing over money or volunteering, even simple steps such as liking or sharing a post can help us raise our profile and spread the word.

Due to the weather between 17-19th January 2020 the council will be triggering SWEP. Please let rough sleepers know to present at Brighton Town Hall between 7-10pm -Dogs Welcome.
Or if you know of a rough sleeper that needs help you can refer them to Streetlink.
