I was walking past Halls & Co Solicitors this evening (399 Lordship Lane) at 8pm to see a homeless guy covered in a blanket in the doorway next to the Costcutters shop.It really did upset me to think that someone was sleeping in such a poor uncovered space within a major road. Has anyone seen this guy here before? :(

i myself have been homeless and its awfull, but true some dont want help.... i was to proud to ask or approach anyone for help for a few months... i was living in brighton at the time.... found a nice spot on the beach nr the david lloyd gym, that had a big bit of grass with a dip sheltering from the wind that was hidden from the public eye! couldnt bare to go public the shame!! :(


anyway i managed to find a local mail box outside a house and so used my brain and used that address to go to the job centre and register myself as jobless to get jsa....i got it and could then apply for housing bennefit and was then able to go and find myself a room....but im a strong willed proud person.... most dont have this drive, and i was put thier due to bad personal circumstances and finding out i didnt have the good friends i thought i once had and no help was abvailable!

not eveyone that is homeless is thier due to thier own fault but alot wont take the help offered! i also went to charing cross every saturday evening and gave outalot of food to the homeless thier with a good christian group..... feltvery satisfying to help them....


but thier there are charitys that offer help..that help to get them on to jsa and houseing and can help find landlords that will take tennants on housing and the charitys pu the deposit up! really really nice of them and im sure is available in london..... i do feel for them i really do but id never give money.... they might use it for alcohol and drugs which isnt going to help them...... id offer food and drink but even thats been turned down before can u believe!

    • I had a leaky toilet cistern and Niko came out the same day and not only fixed the leak but thoroughly cleaned off the years of calcium build-up. His attention to detail was matched by his kind humanity. The result was a completely renovated toilet which has never worked more efficiently as well as 'service with a smile'. MANY THANKS NIKO!!!  
    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA!

    • "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour
