Statistics revealed today by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government show that the number of people sleeping rough has reached its highest level since records began.

A shameful 4,751 people were sleeping on the streets in the autumn of 2017, a figure that has rocketed in recent years as austerity and inflation create a financial trap for the most vulnerable people in society.

And it’s no longer confined to London and the big cities. Rough sleepers have been appearing in tents and shop doorways in towns where it seems unexpected and out of place.

People in full-time work have also been forced on to the streets, as exposed in a BBC investigation here.

One worker who was forced into a homeless shelter said: “If I said it was overwhelming, it would be an understatement.”

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
