This year over 13,000 people slept rough in London, the highest level on record and around 10% higher than the previous year. It’s a shocking statistic that brings home the difficulty that many people face over the holiday season.

This week, we joined Refuge Network International to distribute food and other items of clothing and toiletries to those experiencing homelessness in London. Refuge Network International work tirelessly to support refugees, asylum seekers, and the homeless, providing food, clothing and education for displaced and marginalised communities.

Working over 15 countries and providing one million meals, they collaborate with individuals and businesses through volunteering, partnerships, fundraising and advocacy to raise awareness of the hardships that so many face.

Thanks to Charles Gimoh and everyone at Refuge Network International for all the positive work you are doing.
