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! ๐ข
See you tomorrow my friend ๐งก
In London, 24,400 commercial properties currently sit empty.
22,500 of those have been empty for 6+ months.
That's 6,500,000mยฒ, 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
