75,000 UK children will wake up homeless on Christmas Day

Seventy-five thousand children will wake up 
homeless on Christmas Day, housing charity Shelter has warned.

New figures have revealed that more than two 
children in every primary school in Britain will 
be homeless over the festive period - enough 
children to fill 333 primary schools.
The charity said the number of homeless families 
in Britain has been "rising steadily over recent 
months" and the number of families with children 
forced to live in B&Bs has also increased by 57% over the past year.
Shelter's helpline and local advice centres 
helped more than 1,000 people at risk of becoming 
homeless over the festive period last year and 
now the charity is launching an emergency Christmas appeal for public support.
Campbell Robb, chief executive of Shelter, said: 
"It's easy to think of homelessness as single 
people sleeping rough. What people don't often 
consider is the rising numbers of families who, 
through no fault of their own, have lost their 
home and have no permanent roof over their heads. 
For people with children, 'sofa surfing' with 
friends and family often just isn't a realistic option."
He said the main triggers for homelessness 
include relationship breakdowns, job losses and 
landlords ending renters' tenancies.
He added: "No child should be homeless at 
Christmas. Every December, Shelter's helpline and 
advice centres deal with thousands of people at 
risk of losing their home. We need everyone's 
support in the coming months so our advisers can 
help prevent families from becoming homeless, and 
help them into a home if the worst should happen," he said.
A spokesman from the Department for Communities 
and Local Government said: "This country has one 
of the strongest homelessness safety nets in the 
world and the bigger picture is that homelessness 
is actually lower than for 28 of the last 30 years.
"But there is always more that can be done. 
That's why we have recently set out a 
cross-Government approach to ensuring that anyone 
at risk of homelessness gets help at the earliest 
possible stage to prevent them from losing their home.
"The Government is also investing £400 million in 
homelessness prevention over four years, and last 
year provided an additional £70 million."

Fear not therefore: for there is nothing covered 
that shall not be revealed; and nothing hid that 
shall not be made known. What I tell you in 
darkness, that speak ye in the light and what ye 
hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. Matthew 10:26-27

Die Pride and Envie; Flesh, take the poor's advice.
Covetousnesse be gon: Come, Truth and Love arise.
Patience take the Crown; throw Anger out of dores:
Cast out Hypocrisie and Lust, which follows whores:
Then England sit in rest; Thy sorrows will have end;
Thy Sons will live in peace, and each will be a friend.
