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.
@peter4buckley Hi Peter, we are a completely non-profit project, we have kind volunteers #knitting items which we donate to the #homeless together with making care packages & we try to fundraise where we can to provide shelters with specific items they may need through the year.
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. - https://t.co/wrcNIslU5q via @gofundme
