LETTER: Make sure support goes to right place
If any of them that ask for money instead, I walk away. Please don’t give money, donate to a homeless charity. Also, those who do a sleep out know that it will be only for one or two nights, unlike those who are sleeping rough every night.
But it does bring home to them about the homeless.
I have in the past, bought tents, sleeping bags, food and clothes for them.

Hide AdIt is a disgrace that the Government relies on the goodwill of the public.
May I also point out that I’m an ex-soldier, served for 20 years, and among the homeless are ex-military, I believe one in four. I am at times ashamed that they put their lives on the line and are cast aside when they have left the forces.
