Another powerful work by Banksy. Thanks to everyone involved for highlighting homelessness, especially street homelessness at this time of year.

We are pleased to see pledges in the #LabourManifesto that will tackle homeless.
Building new social housing and making sure housing benefits cover the cost of rent will help to #EndHomelessness now.

New research shows that families on housing benefit are being forced into homelessness as they cannot afford most rental properties. Housing benefit has been frozen since 2016 but 73% of the British public agree that it should #CoverTheCost of rents. crisis.org.uk/about-us/media…

Did you know that a homeless person is expected to need temporary accomodation for only about 6 weeks? However because housing benefit doesn't #CoverTheCost of rents in many areas, some of them can be stuck in hostels or B&Bs for as long as 9 years endhomelessnessnow.org.uk/ #GE19

On #WorldKindnessDay, we have some suggestions for helping people who are rough sleeping. Details are below but just talk to them first. Introduce yourself & ask their name. Then ask what they need rather than buying something only to find they can't use it. It's only polite.

At this time of year we get enquiries asking how to help people who are rough sleeping. Here are some tips but first - talk to them. Introduce yourself & ask their name. Then ask what they need rather than buying something only to find they can't use it. It's only polite.

Concerned about someone sleeping rough? Contact @Tell_StreetLink at: socsi.in/ZQxKN Alerts are sent to local outreach teams to find and support #roughsleepers

For #DictionaryDay here's a useful definition: "Homeless" doesn't just mean rough sleeping. In fact, for every person sleeping rough, there are TWELVE more families or individuals stuck in situations such as sofa-surfing or living in temporary accommodation.

Its @idep2019 - the int day for eradication of poverty. Poverty is not eradicated by charity but by social justice: fair wages and benefits and no exploitation. Charity now only whilst it works to remove the structural causes. Read our CEO blog here: everydayinequality.org.uk/20…
