    I was born and brought up in Walton but left Liverpool in 2015 to move to Galway due to work. I come back on a regular basis to see my parents but never went into Town until last Xmas 2020 and I was shocked at the amount of homeless people in and around town, everywhere you went there was some poor soul wrapped in a quilt. I felt ashamed to be a scouser for a while. Seeing projects like this reminds me how big a heart Liverpool has.

    Inspiring, wonderful venture. I left Liverpool in 83 in search of work or could easily have ended up like one of those poor, lost souls. Those responsible for interfering in this altruistic scheme need to hang their heads in shame.

    It's so sad seeing people sleeping on the street, I've been in that situation myself (I was lucky that I had my car so I had relatively secure shelter) I felt that loneliness and it's awful to feel that nobody in the world gives shit. Fortunately we don't have many homeless where I live and I always stop to talk to them let them know there's hope.

    As a former local authority housing officer for numerous local authorities throughout the UK and experience of housing/ homelessness spanning almost 30 years, in my personal and professional opinion, the shocking homelessness situation in Liverpool is symbolic of the abject corruption and lack of humanity in the services both statutory and non-statutory, to actually HELP and SUPPORT people who are homeless!
    I made the decision not to continue working and therein challenging these corrupt services, but to continue to help and advise, support and love people who are homeless individually, rather than be tied to any corruption where I end up having to take them to employment tribunals! (3 so far!)
    I first came across this amazing man Lawrence Kenwright from the news story about 3/4 years ago regarding this shelter he had set up.
    I recall actually crying at this man's sheer humanity and remember saying one day I'd like to simply meet him and hug him and shake his hand.
    4 years later, I've had the chance to do that.👊🏾
    Again I extend my heartfelt thanks and gratitude to everyone involved in setting up this shelter and most importantly to you for recognizing the humanity in people who are homeless.
    They are People FIRST and homeless SECONDARY as a RESULT OF THEIR INDIVIDUAL LIFE'S EXPERIENCES.
    Bless Your heart every one of you💜.

      Yes, but does everyone deserve a home for free? Food for free? Clothes for free? Everything for free? Without putting anything back into society? I've gone hungry so I can pay my rent. I work and there are times when I can't buy the basic necessities. And there is no help for me because I work. Doesn't seem fair, does it?

As Oscar Wilde said - I may be in the gutter but I'm looking up at the stars. Can't believe the Council didn't jump at the stars and help and continue this project, its beyond belief.

This is stopping people helping and speaking to the homeless which is very sad. Something needs to be done to remove these con artists from the streets so the true homeless can be helped. Meanwhile, keep up the good work in trying to help the unfortunate in our city

      It's going on with English-speaking countries in general and it's because of the hyper-individualistic culture.

    It's obscene and disgraceful that a regular common job whatever it may be, will barely cover rent and other necessities. I work 40 hrs and even if i poured my whole check into rent, it would still not be enough, never mind food or gas and electric. When i was growing up, my father was just a regular laborer in a factory and the single breadwinner. Rent was always paid, we never went hungry and there was even enough at the end of the month to treat us to a movie or some Chinese takeout. He also managed to put some money away in the bank, try to figure that out. I never even realized we were actually poor as all our friends and relatives lived in a similar semi-comfortable conditions. What the hell happened? I love my father so much, always happy he used to tell us that with technological progress and other advances, we'd be able to live better and give our children what he couldn't give us. That never happened...i wish i could go back to those times...

      Yes it was a roller coaster of emotion, we knew they were coming for us, but we could not turn our backs on our guests, who had become friends. The Council looked at us as though we were showing them up and in some way we were, but not out of malice it was due to the piss poor service they stated was amazing the Echo painted them out to Kings when actually it was just a political tick box x x

      @@lawrencekenwright. part of me is beginning to wonder are they wanting the homless all sat round as a warning fear tactic to general public if we don't fall in to line this is where we can end up. I can't think of any other logical reason for people to be neglected like this in 2023.
      They've got money and tones of empty building and tones of volenteers aswell as paid staff who would jump at the opportunity to work in shelters rather then on the streets. The general public who work in all industries are having to make time to be supportworkers volenty cos the government won't do what there very capable of doing. We'll tbh I'll back track there cos to be capable a real caring heart is needed, so yes they should follow the guidelines set by kingsway house or hand the responsibility to the likes of you and Brian who worked magic and achieved a place that offered consistency on many levels.

    Judgemental folks are the worst they don't understand.
    And it happens to anyone from all walk of life
    This is very sad how they treat people.
    I blame the the banks
    The government
    Hospitals and so on👎

    Those of us in these situations should have a place to go where we can decide which part we wil play to buid our own houses for ourselves and each other . So a little training on bricklaying , roofing or whatever and then on sites building. Yet the goverment wont allow this we should do it ! everyone deserves the basics no mateer who they are or where they are from if you are human your basics should be provided for . That is the job of our goverment. If they can t do it then we have to sack them and empower those who propel such plans.

    If you are really want to recover, you will get help!There are so many private and government charities!Homeliness is just a way of life!People, look at statistics from 1970-60s ,there was a very low percentage of homeless!Why?Because there wasn`t any bloody welfare system!This new generation is so soft and weak,always relying on others! DO NOT GIVE MONEY TO HOMELESS PEOPLE!
