Re: Homeless man freezes to death in Birmingham
Speaking as a person who was homeless for 2 years (admittedly 20 yrs ago) the first thing I would say is do not under any circumstances give money to a "beggar". Most are professionals who make a good living out of preying on your conscience. Believe me, I know beggars that make £300 per day!
If you want to help contribute to one of the many drop-in centres where they can get helped.
I'm thankful for the help I got from a drop-in centre all those years ago, they not only helped me find accommodation but assisted me to have a different outlook on life.
