"If you are homeless or living in hostel accommodation, Christmas can be a lonely and depressing time. For the past 38 years, Crisis Christmas has alleviated that loneliness. It provides Christmas Centres across London from 23 – 30 December that offer vital companionship, hot meals and warmth, and a wide range of essential services that homeless people often miss out on."



I have volunteered before and I'm doing so again this year, if you can drop your preconceptions about homeless people and give a few hours of your time this really is a worthwhile cause.
The stories people told me about how they ended up on the streets were genuinely heartbreaking.

They are still short of volunteers between the 23rd and 30th December, so if you're not back at work give it a thought

Thanks xmas

Not this year, going home to my lovely family but not everyone has that comfort frown

But you never know what might happen, I've had a really quiet week at work and I've got bills to pay!
