With St. Mungo's on how climate change effects the homeless

MAR 2, 202218 MIN

Description

Rebecca Sycamore is Executive Director at St Mungo's, the charity ending homelessness and rebuilding lives. Founded in 1969 by a group of committed activists distressed by the rising number of London’s homeless, St Mungo’s is England’s largest provider of homelessness services housing over 3000 people every night and helping over 30 000 people in 2021 alone. On these cold, dark wintery nights, they are doing important work with those without a home. For this episode of The Freudcast, Rebecca Sycamore spoke to freuds’ Zulum Elumogo on the acute effects of climate change on the homeless, the charity’s heroic efforts to house rough sleepers during the Covid lockdowns and what it will actually take to end homelessness in the UK.
