Homelessness at Christmas
My friend and I were walking across Barnes Common this afternoon and saw an older lady sitting on one of the benches with lots of plastic bags and wearing flimsy sandals with bare feet. We thought she might be homeless (it was very cold) but we couldn't really do anything.I do hope this isn't anyone's eccentric auntie, in which case I apologise profusely.Just to put people in mind this winter that there are many homeless, most for very sad reasons and I wish we could do more. I have done Crisis at Christmas before which was terrific fun, they are a great organisation and also Centrepoint have a programme to get young people off the streets and into education and encourage their future prospects.
