Voluntary Work
As cold weather is still present and temperatures descend below zero during the night, I sought to inquire about the ways that are in place to help the most unfortunate who are out in the streets.
According to a recent report by the Shelter Association, nearly 320,000 people would be homeless in Britain. This figure is up 4%, representing 36 new homeless each day. In London, the number of homeless people is 170,000. The most affected neighborhoods are Newham, Haringey, Westminster and Barking, Kensington and Chelsea and Dagenham. The State Secretary for Communities James Brokenshire announced that the government would invest £ 1.2 billion to counter the rise in the number of homeless people in Britain. The London City Council has also launched its £ 574 million five-year action plan to reduce the number of people on the streets.
In addition to the action of the government and the town halls, we can also help those in need. Many associations like Street of London or Wrap Up need donations to continue their action. By volunteering to participate in various clothing collections, cash collections or awareness campaigns about the homelessness situation there is a slow but active change throughout communities. For the more athletic, the Shelter Association organises 10-kilometer walks every 3 months to raise funds.
In addition to helping these poorest people, the StreetVet association cares for their most faithful companions by providing free care for dogs and cats. The association is also in the running to win a £ 100,000 prize put forward by the NHP. We can help it achieve this by voting before June 10th. The association 'Unseen Tours' offers guided tours of London neighborhoods by homeless or formerly homeless people. The goal is to present London from another perspective and also to change the way people look at the unfortunate homeless . The Fat Macy's association is part of a similar frame of work. This company offers a catering service but has the particularity of hiring young people in difficulty and helping them find housing.
All in all, there are many solutions to help homeless people and if you do not have money to donate , you could give up some valuable time.
