Away Giving for September – St MUNGO’S is our Charity in focus. Fighting homelessness across British Cities for 55 years St Mungo’s continues on its mission to end homelessness and re-build lives. Homelessness has several guises and may impact families as well as individuals. *Sleeping on the streets, in doorways, shopping centres or bus stations is probably the most obvious. *Unstable or insecure accommodation such as hostels or B&B establishments, nothing to call ‘home’. *Sofa-surfing, a hidden homelessness, a constant shuffle between friends / relatives houses, nowhere permanent. The reasons are varied. It may be the onset of poor physical or mental health; social isolation, redundancy, trauma, family breakdown, bereavement. Please think about this, consider it. It can happen to any of us and its impact is life-changing
