Chip in to help our campaign to stop mass homelessness
by The Big Issue in London, England, United Kingdom
We have a duty of care to our fellow citizens to help protect the vulnerable especially children.
Everyone deserves a safe place to live, and the fact we're having higher numbers of homeless people every year is a national disgrace
Keep up the pressure on the Government and authorities to make things better for everyone.
Safeguarding and welfare is everybody's responsibility. We can all help one way or another.
I support the cause to end homelessness
I wish I could give more. However, I do join in other campaigns.
Best wishes with your campaign.
Backing you all the way
I think it's sad and very short-term that the government cannot see how much more cost effective it would be to help people to remain in their homes. That's before you get onto the emotional and physical distress people will have to endure if they are forced out of their homes. Much of this has been caused because of, in my opinion and many others, the overreaction to covid which has destroyed or diminished many people's ability to seek an acceptable level of income and has hence forced them into debt through no fault of their own.
It is shortsighted not to help people to keep their homes both financially and in mental and physical health outcomes. Much more needs to be done to prevent homelessness by offering advice and support.
Great campaign
I volunteer at a drop in centre in Colchester Essex. I get to see first hand what our homeless friends go through day after day. And I am right behind it, it's a pity our government doesn't feel the same.
It breaks my heart to see so many people on the street or made homeless. It's fundamental to our wellbeing. I want to help.
Supporting the campaign is a bid for a better society. Poverty and homlessness are a scourge on the UK.
I was shock to find out from reading in the Big Issue that it costs a lot more money to keep someone in the street than being re-housed! It’s morally wrong to keep someone in the streets and it doesn’t make financial sens !
Let’s give all the people living on the street hope and a home !!
I never give a moment's thought as to whether I will have a roof over my head other than to be very grateful for it. In an ideal world, no one should have to. No one wants or chooses to be homeless - it's not urban camping! We have to be sort this out - other countries have so we need to learn from them.
Lots of ideas and suggestions as to how small local groups can get involved and help the cause.
Well done Big Issue for campaigning and raising awareness of the blight homelessness causes on people's lives and wellbeing. Prevention is always better than trying to deal with the horrendous consequences.
Friends, please support this campaign and sign the petition. Everyone has the right to decent housing and to remain in their homes. Everyone needs a stable home to be able to take advantage of opportunities available in other areas that can benefit their lives in every way.
'Everyone In' was a great success and resulted in many local people being in settled accommodation. 'Everyone out' must not happen as England gets back on its feet and hotels that were used for this are recommissioned by their owners. I'd like to see a Universal Basic Income in England as well as in the devolved nations to help prevent homelessness.
No one deserves to live on the streets and we should do all we can do end homelessness
