I always tell my daughter to never look down on a person, because you have no idea what has happened to them. Also, it could happen to you, they are human beings, and never lose your humanity.
@Scarface I think same as you thats exactly how I would put it/say it..."its mad that everyone isn't like that"...guess we were blessed with something others weren't to care for strangers n not look down
You have taught her well
well said mate.
👍👍👍👍👍
Yes its tories who do that
Hi its alan from the video I had on the Burberry scarf
Just to let you know I've got into rehab/supported accommodation and got myself of drink and drugs
3 weeks into it and things are looking up ..just wanted to pass on a bit of encouragement to anyone else out there struggling, if I can do it they can do it.
Don't be afraid to ask for help
Good luck 🤞
That's brilliant Alan so pleased you deserve it loved that scarf you looked very smart Megha luck Alan keep it up! 🙏👍♥️
Thats great to hear mate, I hope everything is still going well for you.
So happy for you ❤
Amazing Alan well done keep up the good work xxx
This broke my heart. I live in birmingham and i cant believe people are living like this round the corner from me i went to the shop and bought every day items and handed them out. There smiles were the most heart warming things ever
Totally agree, While i was filming this documentary i came to realise that if it wasn't for the members of the public and the voluntary groups that hand out clothes and warm food these people would be in a much worse circumstance, THIS SHOULD NOT BE THE CASE IN A 1ST WORLD COUNTRY
Don’t fall for it. The people who are suffering don’t make it blatant. The people society should focus on helping are the working class and people that help keep society running.
They rely on gullible people like you to keep living like that, you didn't help them at all, they are full time beggars, it's all an act .
Yes that's ok.i live in cov but if u ask them can I buy u something to eat they. say no give me the money tho.for bus fare etc it's for drugs

My wonderful wife works with Bham Support Group with Lesley. Proud of both of them
Very kind people, doing some amazing work
@brass monkey you have limited to no knowledge and are showing your ignorance. I can assure you that most voluntary workers do have jobs and do this work to help out their community in crisis. Remember that not only do they give their time for free, they use their cars incurring wear and tear, fuel costs plus damage to their vehicles. Put their own hand in their own pockets to help others. Also sacrifice their quality time with their families to help. Without such kind hearted souls many people would go without food in their bellies and clothes on their backs if these lovely people did not help.
@brass monkey You're right about some of the hierarchy but not the minions.
The directors are pocketing quarter million. Check out the charities commission on the salaries.

Good luck to all ❤️
Sad to say this country is going downhill. Back in the 80's and 90's you'll rarely see homeless people, but now there are so many. Breaks my heart.
they stopped building new housing.
It’s everywhere, sadly.

Sadly blame central Government they stopped Councils from Building homes and being landlords. Because according to Thatcher it was wrong and there is no such thing as society.
They need to build more housing for people
I cant pass a homeless person without giving my last bit of change or buying them some hot food or drink, it kills me to see people like this makes me feel sad that I'm going to a home with the heating on and a full meal, I wish I had a massive mansion so I could move all the homeless in and look after all of them, the world getting worse until our Lord returns it wont get better but until then keep smiling and love one of another ❤
@shankar singh no I don't do them lol
Any kindness is huge thank you.
Your doing a good job man thanks what a good person you are :)
if you had a massive mansion you wouldn't do that
Most people aren’t just homeless and that’s it - the people sleeping on the streets are usually either alcoholics or drug addicts or violent, they fall into one of those three categories so you could take them in but all your shit would be gone and sold for drink and drugs within the first few hours, nice gesture and nice idea but not realistic even if you did have a mansion
Some of the kindest and most intelligent people I have met are homeless. Prayers go out to you all xxx
I was homeless for a short time due to breakup and job loss , it was soul destroying. I turned it around by going away to work and living in , it was the best thing I ever done . I never walk past a person on the streets , allways but hot drinks food etc , talk to them .

Bigups to the people who have made this documentary, i am from Birmingham and driving around I have seen a couple of homeless people shown on this documentary, it has really opened up my eyes on the issue, and i think more awareness on the topic will hopefully improve the situation for these people.
The poverty in this country in 21st century uk is hideous and heartbreaking
Most of them are just actors.
It’s un Godly that what it is.

No problem with giving the illegal immigrants accommodation in hotels, feeding them, health priority and a weekly income. CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME!!!!😡
Absolutely Paul absolutely it's an absolute disgrace
Yes but remember not to be racist I can see where your comment is heading. Illegal immigrants are obviously not good but don’t you dare get that mixed up with LEGAL immigrants
@@rubinakhan1553 I did make it clear “Illegal”.
@@rubinakhan1553 We shouldn't be housing ANY immigrants, legal or illegal before our own citizens.
@@rubinakhan1553 Don’t pull the racist card because of someone’s opinion it pisses me off. Charity does begin at home 🖕
Strange how the majority of homeless seem to be British ? Yet Council houses , BnBs and Hotels up and down the Country seem to be full with Foreign nationals ??
Very true
I've noticed that too, yes it's true. Yet if you say anything you get called a racist.
@@danw1374 definitely true can't say anything anymore
This is the best thread ever. The term racism is applied very wrongly and very often in the UK 😠😠
Funny narrative you've created there. Let me guess, patriotic alternative?
Sad in this day in age that our own UK citizens are left like this..it can happen to any of us.I been homeless twice but never ended up on the street..These people are warriors...as I sleep in my bed tonight warm and safe my heart goes out to them.
Mine too
We can print money but yet we cant ensure equal quality of life for all humans...very saddening. Godbless the people who spend their money, energy, and time to help others get back on their feet.
Well said...we should ALL help one another!!!
Printing more money reduces its economic value. It's not nice to see homelessness, and i wish the answer was just people giving more money to them but like all problems it's multifaceted.
What's unequal? law applies equally to us as it does to homeless, these people clearly have deep issues. If homelessness was an easy problem to solve, it would already be solved.
I was once stopped by a PSCO giving some money to homeless in Wolverhampton. He asked what i was doing i told what i do with my money has nothing to do with him and to basically mind his own business, he was none too happy, asking me for details, and eventually calling a Real Policeman who upon explaining that i was giving my cash of my own free will, told the PCSO to walk on.
Very good Documentary. Feel a deep sorrow for anyone in a position like this. People who speak bad about the homeless ain't got no right to judge or say anything if they haven't got a clue what it is like to experience homelessness.
I've been homeless, have you ?
@@snowflakemelter1172 No but my husband has.

I have been homeless but have never been on the streets. Homelessness is seen in many ways and comes in many forms. It's not nice way to live. It's difficult in all weather's whether you live in a tent or not. If you have ever been camping, you will know how it feels. How cold the nights become in both the summer and winter, how when you become older it affects your joints, how sleeping on a cold floor really doesn't help your body. The cold really does get to you with the temperatures dropping sometimes below zero degrees.
As someone that came from the streets of Birmingham city centre myself 16 years ago the soup run and fireside kept me going bk then, bham was good to me! Drugline helped me alot too! Iv been clean from class a drugs for 15 years now there is hope 💞 Si 😱its good to see you still around all this time later so many have been lost along the way 💞

The only person who can help you is yourself, the willingness to try, to change, I was homeless few years back was lazy, committed crime, went to prison, sat in my cell one evening looked out the window, seen the yard couple trees and a patch of grass, I looked up seen the stars my Mind went to a place I’ve never witnessed, was a stare into the unknown, I sat back down and realised there’s a whole world out there to explore, 3 years on from my release baring in mind left with nothing or nobody, I have a nice house with my girlfriend, I have a job, a nice car, I’m saving money, where as before I couldn’t. I have responsibilities to cook, clean, provide. All I’m saying is don’t give up. Keep trying cause when you finally achieve it’s the best feeling in the world.. god bless you all, it remember it’s down to you.
I can relate, Thanks for sharing your story man I've been where you've been I'm glad I had a long hard look at myself when I was younger because I would be dead now. Now I have my own family and the rest is history, Peace and Love ❤
@Andy H you start with yourself, your mind, your strength to change? Drug rehabilitation, Alcoholics Anonymous go to the council sign up for housing, change your appearance, look smart, speak with a sense of enthusiasm, if people see your committed more opportunities will arise. Take a step at a time, don’t associate with people who don’t want to change, if you associate with millionaires you’ll become one, associate with drug takers and criminals you’ll become just that!
@@PSVR2. god bless you sir, good health and wealth I wish upon you and your family.
Thanks for sharing your story. I have the privilege of knowing someone like you.
A foster child who slipped through the system thanks to foster parents only interested in the money. Lived his teenage years on the streets. Did some time in prison and was released back to the streets.
But he did something about it.
Now he gets the mental health care he needed all along and with the correct meds he now has a full time job, a home and a lovely girlfriend.
It wasn't easy for him - but he did it and I am so proud of him.
Hard to believe in 2021, people still live like this, it's heartbreaking and disgusting, the government have a lot to answer for. How can someone that has served this country, be treated so badly 😔. Where I live ( Sheffield) it's pretty apparent the people that are suffering and those that aren't, never see a homeless Roma🤷🏾♀️.

Most of us are just a wage pack away from this effing scary!
that woman in the pompom hat with the blanket conned me and upset my child !!!! she had £30 off me for a supposed hostel then i saw her hand it to a man in exchange for something being passed to her. i had £60 odd left until i got paid on the friday. i work and cant afford luxuries, that money was from my heart. someone actually told me she has a flat and a bus driver told me she lives in a high rise, gets the bus into town every day to beg for drug money. wont be conned again!!!!
I'm so sorry that happened to you. That's why I no longer give large sums, only 20c, 30c. I hope the universe pays you back for your generosity. Maybe play a lottery ticket this week.
@@Growndweller 💗💗
Most of the time, these guys are going through something way deeper than just give them a house
So true. Only if someone has run away from a parent who's repeatedly raped them before falling prey to strangers who've raped them and then ended up on the streets out of fear of people can they turn around and judge someone who doesn't seem happy with having a house and that's all.

@@YoUnGpRoGaMeRzZ No, that's right. Only God can do that.

It's fucking disgusting! He should be in a care home! Oh no wait he didn't float over here no chance! 🙏 Bless you x
it's 2021, And I can't believe 'homeless people' are still a thing.... what a species we are....
even animals have their own homes but humans maybe not ...
some people say humans are a mix of chimp and pig, so humans are as greedy as a pig and as cunning as a chimp
They bring it upon themselves. There's a simple solution: *Don't Do Drugs*
So what about the homeless veterans??? I suppose they bring it on themselves do they. Or the homeless who don't take drink or drugs what about them??? You must be a moron to think all homeless are druggies or your not very aware of your surroundings.!!!!
@@sh-xp3bc if you love these drug addicts so much, invite them to your home to stay.
Breaks my heart hearing their stories.
I hear that: "Carers" & Helpers just want you to do what they want" - When I was trying to recover from my Stroke in Hospital, staff only did as little as possible that is convenient to them. Since Feb. 2018, nobody has given a toss about me or even asked me what I want, or what I know is best for me.
I'm sorry to hear that my darling...sending you love and health x
We as a society, need to do all we can to help the homeless. We need a compassionate society, not the greedy, selfishness society we are becoming more and more.
We're all a few paychecks, from being homeless ! 😬 🇺🇸
Death to America
@@isaacharkton6169 Hahahaha, why do you say that?
@@huitzilopochtli_tenochtitl496 America is the devil off the world
If you live "from paycheck to paycheck", then you are.
As a famous American entrepreneur said: "Being broke is a status, but poverty is a mindset."
Hello Yank! 🙂
This humbled me.
:( people always turn their noses up at homeless thinking they just have drug addictions or criminals. WRONG usually regular people like us and their lives turned upside down... we should be kind always.
So true..the way some people just assume that people who they see on the streets are drunkards and drug addicts is a disgrace. I think it's because they don't want to be made to feel guilty and it shows who they really are.
Not all drug addicts you get ones who ain't. 99% are in the Hostols ..
I never look down on homeless people, truth is we can all end up this way. I dont take anything i have for granted.
That's rubbish and I'm ex homeless.
I don't mind when I give money and they spend it on beer or drugs,living on the streets freezing cold they need it to bear what there existence is,must be so hard for them,you get ppl who take the piss,but must be so hard,if it was me I'd rather be in prison
I honestly cried watching this... heartbreaking💔😔. I don’t know how they do it and how on earth do they do it every single day and carry on and fight every single day. I would have given up by now. There so strong.
seen him a few times, his drawings are amazing
Give these guys rooms in one of the disbanded Army barracks with some support to finds jobs or retrain for a new career. Give them a safe place. Support with addiction if needed. Instead of giving this accomodations to refugee's that burn down these accomodations. The homeless veterans would thrive appreciate it.
There aren't any homeless veterans, it's a myth.
I always talk to the homeless, well I used to anyway before covid, haven't been out in months but they're still people. Don't get me wrong some can be nasty people but that doesn't mean all homeless people deserve to get tared with the same brush. I was homeless at 17 until i was 19 because stupid mistakes I made when I was younger involving drugs. Out of all the homeless people I've met maybe 10% were horrible junkies, but the rest were normal people, just in a bad place in their life.... So sad that these people get looked at the way they do.
£40 a fortnight for a roof over your head, two slices of bread, cereal and coffee for breakfast each morning & pasta/rice for tea. Not sure why she'd turn her nose up at that.
Because it was rat infected and having just rice/pasta everyday will make you sick. I know it sounds snobby but having that all the time will drive you mad.
You've never been in a hostel obviously. High rape, from the staff often. Violence, drug use, rats, dirt?
I can't begin to imagine what it must be like to sleep rough. I hope everyone who is homeless stay safe and their situations improve for the coming winter. 😢
blessings for all these people
Plenty of provision in Birmingham. It's largely other issues such as addiction with drugs and alcohol and mental health which infringes people's ability to access the help.
Eg can you abide by the rules of the accommodation offered? If you had a flat eventually can you run and maintain it and pay bills and rent if you have significant addiction issues and or mental health issues alongside that.
Exactly, " homelessness" isn't about a lack of accommodation, most of the people you see on the street have no intention of living under a roof.
No one chooses to be on street. People often have addiction problems and or mental health issues. Lack of family support . We need to have a holistic approach to solving homelessness. And it starts with compassion.
@@victoriadalrymple6497 what are you going to do when they tell you they aren't interested in your compassion? And many people do choose to be on the street, that's a basic fact you would know if you had been there. I have.
@@snowflakemelter1172 people get stuck on the streets for many different reasons. That is very different to choosing the streets. And every one deserves compassion and help. Some people are simply not in the right place at the time the offer of help is given. It's don't mean we shouldn't try and continue to try
@@victoriadalrymple6497 compassion can also involve a harsh decisions that people dont like but is for their own good, homeless has become a lifestyle choice for some because charities and councils have pandered to them, they are getting everything for free and more people are joining them.
God bless them all, this is why you should never judge anyone
When wise old uncles speak on it 👏🏾 I’m already touched xx
I'm sorry, but these people need to help themselves too, I know it's not always the case, but a lot of these, no matter how much you help them, they'll just take the help, but not put any of their own motivation in, so when the help stops, instead of carrying on with good progress, they just go straight back to the street... and before people chip in from what I say, I know a few of these people here, some deserve the help, some don't...
This is a great very well made documentary congrats! I was in Birmingham in 2018 and couldn’t believe how often I was being approached by homeless people for change
😢❤️🙏 When i see these people i feel lucky that i live in Denmark . God bless this HUMANS 😢❤️🤗🙏
I know a lot of these people 😢 I was on the streets myself 2015 with Nathan Davis who had sadly died now 🥺 he really looked after me ❤❤❤❤ RIP Nath love u ❤
It must be awful. God bless the support worker's who do this work. Xxx
Birmingham gives alot of support to homeless ppl , plenty of hostels and shelters in city center.
Some don’t feel safe in hostels. Some feel safer on the street. Also, hostels are temporary and some kick them out after a day.
so tragic they are vulnerable and need more help
I had no mum or dad, grew up in poverty, bullied at school, my brother committed suicide, I was sexually abused as a child but I got on with my life and moved on and worked hard to better myself. you either live in a world of shit or you take ownership for yourself and make it happen for you, no one gives you nothing you make it for yourself. thank you.
i don't understand you are homeless person and you still losing your money in drugs and alcohol why ??? Collect money and fund a home
Addiction.
You're kinda right though.
It is do sad to see,we are supposed to be a developed country.Yet human beings are left to live on the street like stray dogs,but the difference is,a stray dog would be put into kennels and given something to eat and made comfortable.
It is all so wrong,our government is rubbish and corrupt, having one goal and that is to look after themselves.
They don't live or have ever experienced the real world.
That sad. But little can change. We share kindness with them just little from heart🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿. TH-cam: THE CLAVERS
They aren't left to live on the streets, they have refused to be housed, have drink our drug issues they are not willing to deal with or have been struck off the council housing list because they vandalsed the property or were anti social neighbours.
But a stray dog don't do drugs and drink but someone people do and don't change and stray dog get just as bad so why shouldn't thay get help tooo sorry i dont think any human should be over a dog cat whatever animal we are all. Liveing and feel pain but human can work and have change animals can't becaues human are better sorry no I'm a child and I would pick a dog over a homeless person becaues a person can figth for them selfs but a animal can't
That support group deserve a clap well done guys
Thank you Mark my lovely wife volunteers with Birmingham Support Group. Lesley is one of the co-ordinators
they have no rent, get free food 7 days a week, free clothes, have no bills, dont need to go to work, Homelessness isn't all bad.
I was sad I had no shoes until I saw a man with no feet
Oh Lord, forgive me when I whine
I have two feet, the world is mine.

We should always respect homeless people they are in this situation it's not their fault sometimes circumstances in life put these people in these positions. I always take time out & speak to the homeless & you would be surprised where they come from. Always help & respect them. 💯👍
Respecting them doesn't mean enabling them to stay in the street, it s pulling them out. Tough love sometimes is necessary.
@@towaritchthe streets are an institution for many. A lot do not trust people and no wonder. A lot have troubled backgrounds fleeing from abuse then became addicts. Trace back their ancestry and there will be issues such as crime, died in on battlefields and the workhouse for some of them. Those issues do not just leave generations in so many cases. All this is hypothetical but it will be there for some. Its spiritual healing this country needs along with true financial support and education. Proper financial education and a huge rental and cost of living decrease. Better wages etc too.
This was a great watch!
This makes me so sad 😞 😥, but also blessed. I may not be rich but i have a roof over my head, tv, internet and food. Makes me sad seeinf others in this situation 😢 xxx
I'm from london. Absolutely loved this documentary
London homeless issue is far worse bigger than Birmingham with locals born and bred being pushed out of Thier capital city and the rich class taking over London destroying London .
Birmingham has a drug issue .
This is a very rich country, shouldnt have to be like this!
most countries still have pleny of space to build more and more homes, england however is a conserved country, the breeding population continues to double but the houses remain the same amount, so the surplus population must do whatever, hey, goto spain! you can live there for a bit, but you will die there.
Britain was once the pride of the world, the British Empire owned 1/5th of the globe
this government is vile
I am watching this with a tear in my eye. How can we have homeless people in today's England? Carl looks like he could be a very good artist and how come we have a man who was in the army living on the streets. Some may say its their own fault, they drink and take drugs, well I can understand why they do, it makes the "world go away" for a little while. They are open to violence and discrimination every day, I don't know how they survive!
Some people can't be helped, they're lost and that's how they want to be. You can't just take. Having said that some people genuinely would benefit from help.
i get that, a homeless shelter was quickly assembled right across the street from my apartment building a couple years ago in Canada, and the ones living there continue to do drugs and alcohol, even though rehab services is also made available to them, they accept the room, warm bed and meals but refuse any form of detox therapy, which is why security guards are in duty there around the clock!!! they don't need housing they need to be institutionalized!!!!!
@@phoenixman8569 Might help if you had even the slightest idea as to why individuals decide to take drugs, drink etc. Unless you've suffered from addiction you should keep your ignorant opinions to yourself as its pretty obvious you haven't a clue what your talking about.
Plenty if opportunities to get off rd i did it for 6 years stayed at plenty of hostels only my drug addiction what held me back
GLAD YOU'RE DOING GOOD NOW KEEP FAITH AND TRUST ALWAYS IN THE ALMIGHTY FATHER YAHUAH
AND HIS WORD YAHUSHA HA MASHIYACH
Agreed.
We should plant native fruit trees in public parks, unoccupied urban areas, poor neighborhoods and schools to promote healthy eating and provide at least a snack to those in need. I understand this solution will take time but nature just need a seed and few days of care and rest it will take care of.
You can watch a video on how to plant a local fruit tree using a seed. Even if 1 out of your 10 trees survives, it will feed many generations. Think about it. Take action...
😂🤣 they would trash your fruit 🌲 in a heartbeat!
There's a Kensington and Skid Row in ALL areas of the World 🌎🌍.
It could have been Rich's to Rag's.. That's the reality we don't never comprehend....
Thank you for creating this .. a topic that always needs to be addressed. I hope the last man finds the courage to continue building his life. My services are offers to all who requires help and guidance with getting back to work and reforming the basics. Building a cv etc and taking steps to a life of living for the shadowed members of the community.

The Best People Are The Homeless I Wish Them Well in The Year 2021
They aren't. They're mostly scammers that are full time begging for a living.
This is such a difficult thing, I’ve spoken to and helped many homeless individuals over the years. I never give money only buy food and talk to them. I’ve met some really nice people..But recently I was followed out of a supermarket across two streets by a guy begging for money. As a woman walking alone at night this was so scary. There’s a fine line between asking for help and intimidation.
Yes i dont give money and i have been insulted by a homeless person because of this.
I used to give food but on a few occassions i was insulted back "i dont want your fucking food!" Etc.
This country is going downhill! No matter how citizens are helping, council and gov should provide these people skills and jobs rather than just handing them money
To them who has done this documentary, bloody well done. This world is changing for the better, very slowly but al least it is changing, well that’s how I would like to believe is happening. P.S Human Kind we should all be and not Human Beings.
Things are getting better? Which planet are you living on? things are getting worse and 2 years from when you posted your comment and more homeless than ever. The world gets worse day by day slowly.
I am crying watching this
Great Documentary we all need to help stop homelessness
The guy who was in the army .at least give him a flat to stay he served for ur country.🙁
Whether someone has served in the army or not is totally irrelevant. Everyone has the right to a full belly and heat and shelter in this country
Loads of homeless claim they are veterans, few actually are.
Thank you you I'm the one who was in the Army I ended up in hospital and the kind nursys got me into a hostel in Yardley the homeleigh the one in the berbrey scarth him and his Pal Andy tryed killing me off bye the mailbox thay go around bullying homeless I'm never going BK homeless getting back to myself and I'm looking for a job now
@@christopherpardoe7966 best of luck to you pal, hope things get better for you!
I totally agree!!! It is disgusting! Disposable Hero’s. The MASS amount of people need to awaken to the hideous normalisation about the way our government treats people, ALL people! Especially homeless. The “new age” police are trained to be bullies, it’s becoming a more militant group all-the time!!
Universal credit is just cruel example of how the government regard the vulnerable, it's like a push to finish them.
Why?
The bloke at 19:00 is such a pure-hearted angel. God bless him. He should train to be a priest and lead others to true faith. It's rare to see such humility and grace of spirit, even among the homeless.
Well done to the people who made this video...keep the ball rolling.
I watched this to see who really is homeless in Birmingham.
Fact is these people need help not to be forgotten.

It’s really awful to see I lived in Birmingham for 3 years whilst in university and I always helped when I could especially during the pandemic. I have offered to pay for homeless peoples food when they tried to pay in cash ( during pandemic ) , I’ve bought those with pets some food for them and toys and blankets( a homeless guy who had two adorable pitbulls and so much more. My dad has also been homeless living in hostels and seeing my own father not have a secure home really hurt.
The government do NOT do enough for these people, even worse when they’re moving them in from places they feel safe and where they can sleep. Unless they can suggest somewhere else that is better then they shouldn’t be moved.
I recognise a few of these people, I used to give them money after work but I haven't been into the office since March due to lockdown :( I hope they're ok, must be even harder for them now less people are in town to help out. Heartbreaking.
The ones in prime spots get more than we do for working our lives away...
No one never should not suffer anymore in this world.
Give me, give me give me... And it goes on and on and on... By, , helping " them, the,, Good samaritans" support this way of life. Thats how I see the situation.
These people are mostly full time beggars that rely on the gullible to pay for their lives.
Hats off to those helping.
Sad to watch but great you are listening to them
Soo sad,but the more people that are aware the more chance we can help
The UK homeless are rich compared to other countries. Unless someone has lost their ID, there's no excuse to not have at the very least a hostle. Most choose that lifestyle cause of drugs. There's just simply no excuse to be homeless in the UK. Even if they did loose their ID, if they wanted help there's organizations out there that can help.
You can see that a lot of these people are clearly dealing with addiction. If they address that first and foremost, only then can they start moving forwards and trying to get themselves off the street. If not, they're going to be stuck in a rut, I'm afraid.
...as I said 20 years ago, “it'll only get worse.“ And I'm right.
Its all up to what you want to do in.life i know many who changed their life around from.drug addiction which is stopping alot them to progress once your on drugs you fall lazy you.get use to.begging and sleeping on streets etc. And in.brum derz plenty of support ask those who live in 3rd world countries and and nothing
UK 2021. Nobody should have nowhere safe and warm to sleep...yet some people don't. Its royally screwed up!
10:38 'youre only given 2 pieces of bread a bowl of cereal and one coffee and that's for your breakfast' I don't even want to come across as a prick but wth be greatful she even gets that like what does she expect a full English every morning funded by the average working person... Gets annoying at times
For £40 for 2 weeks, what they expect?
Lmao you are right.
Lol I was shocked how ungrateful she was there's people who aren't homeless but don't even eat breakfast so they can pay rent
More than I get at home!
