In this country, it’s so cold in the winter that you can die when you’re living in the streets and without food you get desperate.
It’s a terrible indictment of 21st century Britain and the current administration that asylum seekers’ basic needs are not met ...
We host because we strongly feel no human being should be without a home and sleeping on the streets.
