HOMELESSNESS is 24/7 killer

This is not a pure business related post, but it could be, but it is a personal post about a subject that I am passionate and engaged with:-

 HOMELESSNESS is 24/7 
 449 deaths in the U.K. from Oct17 to Oct18 

More than one person per day dies in the U.K. directly caused by being homeless. The true toll is likely to be higher causes of death included assault, drug overdoses, illness and suicide, many showed signs of prolonged starvation. Their ages ranged from 18 to 94 years old, with an average of 49 years old for men and 53years old for women. 

Here is the thing we all can help, corporately and individually, I have some great ideas but lack the resource, many folks have the resource but lack the ideas. It does not take much to change this situation in the U.K. and the ROTW, so I ask that you look at what you can do, many of my connections already will help, but a concerted effort would change things permanently for the homeless. There plenty of local points of contact that can help you to engage, how about teambuilding by helping run a soup kitchen? emergency accommodation for "death freeze nights" I hope you can help and get engaged, and that's it.
