Meet Christopher.
He ran a successful business, but when the pandemic stuck, his work dried up, and he became homeless.
Our winter shelter staff uplifted him and helped him into a place to call home.
With a roof over his head, Christopher is positive and looking to work again.

The govt's action with 'Everyone In' got thousands of people off the streets - providing it's possible to end rough sleeping.
But with the cost-of-living crisis and the scheme finishing, rough sleeping is surging.
The govt must fulfil its pledge to end rough sleeping by 2024!
