Should we give money

Example: UK homelessness charities are almost unanimous on the question of giving money: it is better not to. Some charities acknowledge the intended kindness, others are vociferous in saying don’t.

Explanation: giving money to homeless people can affect their live so it is a big question show we give money.UK homelessness charities are almost unanimous on the question of giving money: it is better not to. Some charities acknowledge the intended kindness, others are vociferous in saying don’t. This is because if you give them money some will use to buy drugs and alcohol which makes there situation even badder. You should give them food or drinks, though sometimes if you have a tiny bit of change you can give it to them. If you don't have anything don't just turn away and do as if they weren't there, turn to them and say sorry you don't have anything and treat them at a human level. 

Hook: should I give money 

Thesis: you shouldn't give money to homeless people, instead give them food or drinks 

Intro: rough sleepers don't have money so it is good to know if you should give them money or something else. Another option is give money to the charities who know what to do.

Homeless people notes

Note:
-The number of homeless people are rising.
-Homelessness has increased for three consecutive years, partly because of housing shortages and cuts to benefits, with an estimated 185,000 people a year now affected in England,
-almost one in 10 people experience homelessness at some point in their life, with one in 50 experiencing it in the last five years.
-hidden homeless" households, such as those living in severely overcrowded conditions, squatters or "sofa-surfers".
-with rough sleeping rising this year by 6% in England and 13% in London. This pushes the two-year increase in the capital to over 60%.
-he research found there was a housing "pressure cooker", especially in London and the south-east, which was contributing to the increase in homelessness.

Hook: hidden homeless 

Intro: there are lots of homeless people in England this means that there are more poor people who can't pay and the country doesn't make much money. Being homeless is a terrible thing but there is a huge amount of rough sleepers.

Thesis:The number of homeless people is rising.

Example: almost 1 in 10 people experience homeless , Hidden homeless are in overcrowded conditions, squatters or sofa surfers

Explanation: homeless people is a big problem in Britain. Homeless numbers are increasing in England there are many reasons for people how are on the streets. A one of the reason is family issues this is a big one, people could be upset about something and leave which could mean that they can't find a job or the house wages are to high and they can't afford to live somewhere so they become homeless. Almost 1 in 10 people experience homelessness. 1 int 50 people experience homeless for the last five years or more. Hidden homeless are people who have a little money and stay in a overcrowded place with bad conditions.

Conclusion: homeless people have very bad conditions we can help by supporting charities who can help the homeless people. If we help we could make a better life for these homeless people. 

Homeless people

 Intro: Winter is the the worst time to be homeless. 

Do not give money.

Stone cold. The story link is a story about homeless people and how they survive. This story is about link who  is the main character it is about how he gets there and what he does to find money. The story tells that link was a normal person with a normal family, but then there are family issues and he has to leave, this is common with most homeless people. This causes him to be homeless. After a while he moves up to London to seek for work but he fails so he's forced to live on the streets. When he meets this guy who helps him to know the ways on the street. They become friends and help each other when needed, but then the guy disappears and he is alone and scared like other homeless people would when there alone and don't have food. Link when he gets his money he doesn't uses it to buy drugs or alcohol like some people would, he buys food and drinks.This is how he survives on the street. He isn't the only one there is thousands of homeless people who get in the same situation, some are luckier, some aren't. So we could help by helping charities who help people like link.

Link was not forced to leave he chose to leave because he didn't like the guy who his mother married 

Homelessness

Notes:

The breakdown of a relationship is the main reason why over two-fifths of men hit the street

It is domestic violence that pushes over a third of the women sleeping rough out of their homes

57% of rough sleepers in this study have mental-health issues, and the fact that most of them booze or do drugs too means that they are often treated effectively for neither condition. 

16% of those with whom St Mungo's comes into contact have been diagnosed with schizophrenia, whereas among the general population the figure is 1%. 

According to the Department of Communities and Local Government, the number of people officially accepted as homeless in the three months to June 2011—11,820 people—was 17% higher than in the same quarter of 2010. The latest figures from CHAIN, the Combined Homeless and Information Network managed by the charity Broadway, show that 2,069 people were seen sleeping rough in London between July and September, 216 more than in the three previous months and 520 more than in the same quarter a year earlier.
