Stop Feeding the Problem. Help Fund the Solution.
For people experiencing homelessness, winter can be frightening. Freezing temperatures, poor health, isolation and the uncertainty of where to sleep can make an already difficult situation even worse.
Homelessness is not always visible. It includes rough sleeping, temporary accommodation, hostels, sofa surfing and people at risk of losing their homes. The effects on mental health can be devastating.
Mind in Havering, Barking & Dagenham is working alongside Missing Linkz CIC, the London Borough of Barking & Dagenham Rough Sleeper Team and The Salvation Army to support people facing homelessness across Barking and Dagenham.
