In the UK our work concentrates largely on the homeless. We have been collecting, sorting and distributing clothes to the homeless. We have also been distributing hot food and drinks to them where they congregate and encourage them to seek accommodation. We encourage them to be involved in the organisation’s activities, such as directing us to other homeless people in the borough as well as distribution of clothes and food.
We also liaise with services providing accommodation in Hackney by helping the homeless through provision of food and information. Our project not only promotes their health and well-being, it also helps to integrate them into mainstream services as they feel part and parcel of the community. And as people learn of homeless issues, it leads to the creation of stronger and more united communities.
