My mum and I would be interested if we can get there (we don't have transport). Also is this just Christmas day, or the before and after periods?

We will be working on Christmas day as helping those in need is very rewarding, and important. Putting others needs above your own at this time of year is hard but its good to help such a worth while project.

Are there really any GENUINELY homeless & rootless people around in our rich city?

There are so many vacant properties available plus a generous welfare system here.What is wrong? Are we expected to support a dependent culture specially in this credit crunch time?

Those who deserve our help are asylum seekers and refugees who had to flee their home country because of appalling problems.At this Christmas`time my thoughts are with the people in Darfur, the Congo, Zimbabwe,Palestine,Gaza etc.,

Unfortunately yes. The council seem to not want to do anything about this problem in our city, to the extent that in the past year they've done away with lady who held the position as co-ordinator for the many homeless and vulnerable projects that are running, not just at Xmas but throughout the year. A lot of these people have serious mental health problems not just drinking/drugs etc.

 

I too feel for the people of the wartorn and repressed countries that you've listed, but they do say charity begins at home so if people want to help their own city i don't think you should criticise them.
