Sleep tight ...

A blip from very early this morning. Three of our 57 rough sleepers managed to cocoon themselves against the elements, using whatever was at hand. This year our youngest rough sleeper was 10 years old, the oldest was probably mid-seventies. All proceeds go towards buying extra bed-spaces for the most vulnerable of rough sleepers who are unlikely to access the usual provision.
- The average age of a rough sleeper in this country is 44 years old
- The life-expectancy of a rough keeper is 47
- The main cause of homelessness is relationship breakdown
- For every rough sleeper there are another 100 in hostels and a further 1100 in over-crowded accommodation
