The UK's hidden homeless at Christmas

"The government is talking about ending homelessness but it is creating it at the same time." - Michael Stoops View this email in your browser For most people, Christmas is about spending time with family, eating and drinking too much, and watching old movies on the television. But for rough-sleepers it's often the hardest time of year.
