Well done guys. I was homeless might be again one day. A place to eat every night would have been amazing 👏

The difference one hot meal and warm bed at the end of the day can make to someones life is incredible

Meanwhile in London, some of those within Westminster council decided to throw what will amount to £6million into the creation of ‘The Mound’, a pile of scaffolding and turf that couldn’t look more artificial if they tried. A failed and terrible laughing stock of a ‘tourist attraction’ that serves no moral purpose as flagship stores in the same area have doorways lined with homeless people in sleeping bags or boxes every night, and people queue for food banks. Britain should be better better than this in 2021.

Brilliant mate. Both parts are phenomenal and so we'll put together!! Fantastic

In every town and every city they are there. I live in Newcastle and work in the city centre. Every morning I walk down Northumberland Street and all the shop door ways have some poor soul sleeping in there. Its a sad state of society today that so many have nowhere to go, no where to sleep. Its heartbreaking

I'm on a binge now!! Thanks so much!!!!! My life mission is to help my family on the street by bringing awareness to goodness in those stuck in the life of homelessness. We are lost children! Thankfully I got out by a miracle my life is transformed. Now my life drive is to speak for the homeless ❤ So much respect for your channel 👏

Better than a lot of tv docs. Very well done mate.

Well done everyone good luck to you all stay strong .

I was once in this position as a young man ,came out of care onto streets and back then in 80s untaxed motors were just left and were I was there was this black rover car open , and I used to dive in the back seat for a kip every night for a while how long I've forgot ,in blackpool till I worked my way out of it somehow.

These volunteers a real community heroes. Well done and keep it up ! xx

Hope you do Manchester proud!

Fantastic bit of journalism Louis. So many of us are close to this being our reality. This is so real. Pete brings a lump to my throat. Absolutely heartbreaking. Not nearly enough funding or help for these guys. The best work seems to be done by volunteers. Thank goodness for the volunteers. Such an affluent country yet homelessness is an epidemic.

Feeding humanity/Feed my city & Coffee 4 Craig what an amazing group of wonderful people god bless them and all others like them that help our less fortunate, what also astounded me was the great cohesion between all the organisations it’s a brilliant start, I feel there is still a long way to go however. Great film making, really eye opening, positive and tragic all at the same time. Thank you for all those who help! 🙏🏼♥️

Have recently seen,videos re poverty,and homelessness.Many individuals,of Sikh religion are volunteers.Having read more,about The Sikh religion,am so impressed with the ethos.This video is very well produced.Thank you to all volunteers in this film..

Thank you for sharing your experience and the stories of others, Excellent job! Well done young man..

They way you have put this together is amazing and your interviews are brilliant keep the videos coming darl God bless well done !👍

I was homeless twenty years ago, I met a man and ended up marrying him, I suffer with schizophrenia and depression and paranoid I will become homeless again, it is alwful and still have nightmares with what happened to me, I was reluctant to trust people but glad I did and now have four kids and a man who provides, I wish people could understand it is damm hard being on the street, rapes, abuse,no sleep etc it's absolutely soul wreaking makes you feel less of a person, not human , degraded, it's so cold and scary for them no matter if you are strong mentally or physically it wears you down badly, just to even giving them a packet of crisps and a little nice note or a chat would really be of value to them

Great work man...respect to you.

Fantastic documentary... You definitely deserve more views..

Sadly the challenge of ending homelessness will never happen, they will always be situations leaving people vulnerable. Try ending rough sleeping first that’s a start

Agree with everyone. Very well put together Louis & Nyle. Incredible work. 🙂

Fantastic!

Martin well done 👏🏽💯🙌🏾

Good work - Second video was very heart warming - Thank you for your selfless efforts to save lives and also bringing a sense of worth, purpose and fulfillment to those people left behind or lost in this world - As a fellow Brit, I would like to shake your hand

Well done Mr Singh.

Watched part one, part 2 did not disappoint. So sad to see the daily struggles but also good to see a couple of success stories. Some of the people have made the simple mistake of taking the wrong path in life, some have been dealt a bad hand.

In three month are christmas and the homeless people are in snowweather ,cold wet Floor ,no hot meal and the biggest Thing they have nobody to talk ! Look in the faces ,you will see sadness,hopeless and shame! Sorry my broken english.,.. I hope that this docu will help but I believe that no rich wealthy people see it !So sad...

Watched all the way though… Hooked all the way through. Such a shame hearing someone wants to commit suicide in an instance, just shows what these people go through. 😣

Excellent documentary, you deserve more subs!

Thank you for what you do.

What a powerful brilliant documentary

Good work Louie dude! You also have a proper working class accent eat ya heart out Theroux! In all seriousness great job keep these stories coming! Grim watching but priceless ❤

And btw that food looks sooooo good. God bless you

No where thats where you go!! I was homeless the entire time covid was around and nobody gave a shit then and nobody gave a shit after😢

i like george he speaks from the heart

Fab job Great little documentary :)

Brilliant job!

I was homeless for 3 years its hell on earth even watching things like this brings back all them feelings liven bk home 2 years now and I no it has had a lasting affect on my mental health would do it to a dog nd wouldn't even want my worst enemy going true it just Happy to see people are trying to help but like we're I was it's only scratching the surface

Great work keep it up mate

Looks great mate, sorry I couldn't help last year, hope all is well

What goes on in Manchester city centre is unexplainable!!!! I've seen it all with my own 2 eyes!!!!! RIP to the young lad who froze to death!!!!

Very well made doc but so sad

Don't worry about what other people think about you.your you no matter what you was put on earth for a reason being what you will no when and only when it's time.

Coffee for Craig got a "Queen's Award" - I hope that they chucked it back in her face. How dare the Royals patronise people like that, why don't they move into modest accommodation (hell, they can even keep a castle or two), and stop taking massive "wages" from the public purse each year. I think that Lizzie 2 gets paid over £30 million annually, as well as collecting other monies. Disgusting.

i know some of the people filmed here and clustrophobic problems make it difficult for them to stay indoors. being indoors gives them panic attacks. the sad conclusion iv come to over knowing street homeless people for many years is that the level of force needed to keep them indoors would rightly not be acceptable in a free democracy. patience, and keeping in touch until and if they are ever ready, is the slow and only way. that may take years, it may never happen, but it must be the persons decision and arresting people and court orders forcing them indoors always backfires.

And people thought homelessness was bad before or during the Pandemic, it is vastly worse now and was totally predictable. As interest rates soar to combat the inevitable inflation caused by Lockdowns, landlords are selling up en masse & leaving the Sector: causing Councils to go bust under the weight of the cost of emergency housing. It will only continue to get worse.

Great work

Government cuts have made homelessness worse. We are all one paycheck away from similar situations like this. Most private landlords won't accept tenants that are on benefits and council home waiting lists are getting longer. Margaret Thatcher's Government gave council tenants the right to buy their homes in the 80s and now Housing Association tenants are being given that right. It's lack of social housing which is more affordable for low income families that is causing these problems. Some of these rough sleepers find themselves homeless through no fault of their own. Even domestic abuse services have been cut all over the country and abused women and men are stuck with their abusive partners.

The problem with the majority of hostels is that if a person is trying to be clean from drugs it is well nigh impossible. Same with many homeless shelters ( at least in the US) I have known people trying to get clean and wanted just to sofa surf on their own versus a homeless shelter where they could be offered drugs. Which they don’t have the strength to turn down.

When i was 6 i witnessed a homeless man getting beaten by 2 adult men! I'll never forget the sounds of them hitting and kicking him everytime knocking the wind out of him throwing his food at him and ignoring my cries and screaming to leave him alone i knew him well he was a popular figure and exmillionaire! I grew up and got my MMA license in 2001 and also kickboxing and taekwondo so everyone who sees a homeless person give them a break, cos if i witness that again im not a helpless 6 year old anymore and will feel what it's like to be beaten and humiliated! These people dont need or deserve to get knocked down anymore the system has failed them and will fail us all one way or another! I always make time to speak to them listen to them and give if i can! We are all just 1 mistake away from being homeless or as my friend says 1 wage packet away from homelessness

I watched part one and two. This is Focusing solely on the standards of accommodation! This isn’t just housing need!homelessness is multi layered with issues including drug and alcohol, mental health, and offending issues therefore the government hasn’t help by reducing funding on these services. And half the people who you spoke to on that documentary are housed in some form of accommodation. I hold my hat of to all hostel workers they are real frontline workers everyday is different with complex challenges to keep everyone safe .

Hostels are one of the worst places to be in my opinion easy to get drugs there is always someone to either bullie you or just make it harder in there and its not as if you can go say anything about them as there is a code on the streets etc and that's you don't grass on anyone if possible you sort things out yourself and that's wrong there isn't many safe hostels but if your lucky you will end up in one

I don't think most people realise how strong you have to be to survive being homeless especially long periods of time..!!!!

Some of the people might not like hostels, but they’re doing the best they can having to manage with limited funding and trying to help people with various issues inc mental health, addiction etc etc.

Don't get me wrong yes I've been on the streets sleeping in carparks and behind shops to keep safe but what I don't understand is why it's took a young lads life for this to happen, and now look at it as we have immigrates coming here getting everything that our homeless people should be getting

The fundamental issues leading to homelessness have never been addressed in society, abuse, neglect, poverty, poor education, alcoholism, drug addiction etc. Homelessness unfortunately is but a symptom of a much sicker society that is driven by consumerism and selfishness; the people left behind haven't been given the tools to deal with life by their parents or parent, this is a multi generational iceberg of a problem. The poor souls on the streets have been years/generations in the making and are but the tip of the iceberg of a much sicker society than politicians are willing to address and fail to ask the questions, who abused them and why? Why were they living in poverty? Why can't they make ends meet when working full time? Why are there so many alcoholics? Why are there so many drug addicts? Why do so many kids grow up with only one parent? Why are so many people so poorly educated? Why are there so many people who can't cope with life? The questions go on and on as to why we're in this mess. I don't have the answers, but I do know that the system is rotten to the core and has created the sick society that we live in and has no intention of fixing it. By the system, I mean, government, the military industrial complex, globalisation, big pharma, the mainstream media, the welfare state, consumerism and again the list goes on and on. The wonderful people at the coal face helping their fellow human beings to get a bed for night, have a hot meal etc are doing an amazing job but in reality are nothing more than a Band Aid on an axe wound that is getting ever deeper.

In my town homelessness started when people came an set up selling crack, we always had heroin but the crack only came on tap about 6 years ago

Can I ask why you only showed the homeless men there are homeless women out there too. I was homeless myself in the early 2000’s and saw several homeless women during lockdown in the area I live on the outskirts of Manchester it is really sad .

5/2/23 - Your vids and other KZfaq channels: educate - show - taught me: 1. "alone-lonely-lonesome-isolated-outside looking in" "there are those who prefer homelessness" "cycle of 1 night shelter - 3 nights homeless" "takes a toil on the body ~ mind ~spirit" 2. "learning about yourself and what issue(s) lead to be homeless" "timeframe(s) of homelessness" "assess support needs" "behavior change-support" "coping skills change-support" "whole person change-support" "street to shelter to house to home” 3. "learn confidence for reintroduction to be a contributing / participating / productive / viable part of society" 1, 2 & 3 are what knowledge-understanding I have gained and everything in between. "Every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are based on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving." Albert Einstein

Can someone tell me what those screens on the table are supposed to achieve?.🎯

more than 10 years Ive done on streets on and off and 5 years in hostels it was the same faces in the hostels both times I've been in so they ain't helped many just keep them selves in the job. you have no rights they do make you feel like a child in hostels. You get a job and can't afford the hostel rent or go private. I was working 12hour shifts in a factory after I payed my rent I was left £20 and It cost 15notes to get to work there was no way I could feed my self on £5 or pay my child support Its only cost-effective on benefits. I got a flat after 3years of being in the system the last time and I was always a payday away from being homeless again. It cost the same for me to live in a flat as it did to live in a house with my Mrs and kids but only one income coming in. I managed to keep my head just above water for 6 year and at end of lockdown I was homeless again and swimming in debt. There was no way I was going back to a hostel I snapped my bank card didn't spend a penny for months lived from soup kitchens and supermarket skips so I could buy the cheapest boat I could find, it very small but it was the only way I could brake the cycle of homelessness a hostel won't for most people if you ended up in one with no drug or alcohol problems in most cases you will leave with one. I've been clean 20 years and had a lapse that was almost a relapse weeks before I got my flat so this time was not willing to risk it and went my own way. There is to many do-gooders that try but they don't see the bigger picture and never can with there narrow world view.

Is there a difference btween hostels and bedsits?

I don't have home i live on the streets help me please

Post covid the number of homeless people must have shot up with many having lost jobs and unable to pay the rent and no family or friends to help them. I hope that families with young kids are prioritised as it must be so stressful for those parents and inevitably their children’s education will also be effected.

I'm just about to watch part 2. Fuckin' amazing insight. I've been there 8½ years ago. Thankyou for sharing this.

Why can’t the homeless be expected to follow the rules of a hostel offering them a free bed? What a backwards step we are taking in society by allowing such lawlessness. Many homeless are there by choice, because they don’t want to follow rules and work. They love the free meals, free clothing, free phones, free tents, free money, and all the sympathetic people who need to enable them in order to soothe their own guilt. You could enable better by inviting to live with you.

Bless those that help those in need shame people in power haven't a heart and soul like these people and let these things happen. I'd rather my taxes go on helping instead of weapons and other crap

EVERYONE it is NOT noones place to judge ANYONE.its god's place and god's place ONLY.

Hello from Oz.............What an excellent documentary and I have subscribed with the hope that you do a follow up sometime during 2022. As children, I bet they never thought that they would end up living on the streets. Each city, no matter where in the world should help the homeless with personal hygiene and it would not be hard to do. Have public shower blocks so they can clean their themselves coupled with clean clothes. It would do wonders for their self respect. God Bless all the homeless and keep them safe.

Help me im homeless

this is very informative. very well done' we need society to follow china's example. socialism is a good way of assuring that everyone gets what they really need to remain healthy and strong.

20 humans died on the street's in that year. All the while they were in party mode at No 10 Downing St

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea !" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"

Billions and billions for an entirely aboidable and futile war in Ukraine. Incredible.

Government: There just isn't the money and resources available to help or house the homeless in the UK. Also the Government: We will pay 20 million pound too the United States for a joint venture to help grass roots sport. Government: There just isn't the benefits available or properties for us to provide help and shelter to the UK homeless. Also the Government: We care about the migrants leaving their countries and seeking shelter in the UK, our doors are open to them and we will provide aid, housing and benefits. Now what i have written there isn't opinion... It is fact. The UK's government does this year after year.... And all it says to me is, huge sporting projects, government funded joint Ops that will earn back the UK profit, helping people OUTSIDE of the UK.... The government somehow manage to dig deep, find millions in pounds, millions in benefits and all the houses you could want for migrants. Yet When it comes to helping our own, our own hurt, homeless, ill....... There suddenly isn't a penny and housing is unavailable.

I AM NOT HOMELESS IM A CAT IN THE WILD

Ones drug addiction the health problems rise and later they sick NO HELP TO GET THEY BACK TO LIFE

Thatchers legacy. 🤑🤡🐑

Also to many liers in this film

Unfortunately I think a lot of these charities are in it for themselves. They need to black up and change gender then they might get some help.

Just bloody make a documentary out of humans don't think about housing them

It's the same in every city disgusted with how they filled the hotels with the Afghanistan refugees

UK benefit system not let you down if you have work history they help housing and food money! Most homeless never working all life

I think all these people wouldn't have ended up homeless if drugs , booze or gambling wasn't involved. Stay away from that shit and you have a chance.

I hated people how throw his life to the bin

Disgusting

Why showing like they poor they was have a life ! They throw to the bin

Don't worry about what other people think about you.your you no matter what you was put on earth for a reason being what you will no when and only when it's time.
