Over the last couple of years, Liverpool has seen a sharp incline in the amount of homeless people who are sleeping in the doorways of our City. On October 10th we are opening a new homeless shelter the likes of which have never been seen before, I am sure we will gain a lot of criticism from various gatekeepers for this issue, but we have to try new initiatives.

WELL DO SUMMAT BOUT IT THEN
The answer Is Jesus,he has the Power to make people free from drugs,alcohol,ecc,the religion never gives any solution, politicians either.The blood of the Lord Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin.Here in Colombia South América,when I have the oportunity, I help homeless people with food, clothes,ecc,and I shared to them the Word of God.
Capitalism requires a portion of the population to be homeless and miserable, to keep the rest of us working our asses off to not become homeless ourselves. This is good old Karl Marx 101.
Such a shame you were shut down, all the money that goes to charity doesn’t go to the homeless it’s used for wages to pay people who work in the charity’s , these lovely people who opened this house need the money straight to them they’re the real charity that actually help the homeless, I hope they find somewhere to do it again, your awesome people, ❤
To see what Brian is still doing now 4 years on with no support from the council is amazing but also heartbreaking... A change is possible 🫂
Lawrence, you are a absolute Diamond. Well done!!!!!
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.
We are giving priority housing to 600 Afghanistan nationals by early 2022
@@leonarddavies288 its a fucking travesty i know mate, they get 1st dibs in a country with a housing crisis while our own are left to rot, its not a cost of living crisis its a cost of government crisis we have on our hands
This is a very good documentary! It has both happy and sad moments, just like real life. I enjoyed viewing it.
Respect to Liverpool, more cities need to do more to help the homeless

What u mean respect to Liverpool lol the council tryed to close the homeless shelter down
@@dominicfroude1491 the people of liverpool kept it open, the problem with this country right now is the people who run it will see there own rot while foreign hordes of men that came on a dinghy get 1st classed straight into a hotel & are already treated better than the natives by our own government & its a travesty, nothing great about britain anymore.
Everyone deserves a home.
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?

It’s honestly heartbreaking how many people are homeless nowadays. The work you’re doing is amazing and it’s really inspired me to do as much as I can for those in need. Keep doing what you’re doing darling, you’ve really brought back my faith in humanity 💕
Chloe Thornett it seems to have this issue everywhere right now. In the US cities, homelessness is worse now that property prices have skyrocketed

It's very good to see this, it should take place in every city.
The politicians that caused this should be homeless!

The guy at the start clearly states he fell out with everyone he knew, lost his job, lost his flat, I'm not knocking him but how is that the government's fault, sometimes people should accept a bit of responsibility and not blame something else, if I fell out with everyone I knew I would seriously have to ask myself why...
Shame on Liverpool council, I worked with homeless in Parr Street, quite a few of its workers lost our jobs, including myself, due to lack of funding.
The people of Liverpool are the heart ❤ of the city, we need more people like this, but sadly, the powers that be are not humanitarians, their moral compass is lost with greed and money 😢
So well said and sadly its becoming more & more the reality of the situation by the day.
Scousers r such friendly ppl
i went two liverpool years ago two watch my team luton town play them went in two a pub and there are nice ppl god bless liverpool
Why would anyone downvote this when they are giving hope to people who have slipped through the system and have nothing
More places like this should be available as it helps take people of the streets and give them some sort of faith in humanity.I have been homeless 4 times due to circumstances that I couldn`t control and if it weren`t for places like this I don`t where I`d have ended up.
And those of us who live in this fantastic city have seen the numbers of homeless increase exponentially since this video was made...thank you for love sorry our elected members put more effort in to making things difficult rather than working together for the betterment of our amazing city

The young man states "Before this i was in a cave in Sefton Park"
All Liverpudlians know where he's referring to in the park ;(
How bad have things got to go in life when the youth of OUR CITY have to live in conditions like that before The people in charge of the City get their arses in gear and make that change?
What Lawrence has done / is doing is clearly not for is own Political gain , he's simply a working class Walton born Liverpool Fella who is passionate about its people and City!
What's not to like about that vision / Dream?...............................................
I've a lot of respect for you Lawrence liverpool Council are a disgrace what you were doing was unbelievable and the volunteers aswell 👏 I think you could do it again and I hope you do 👍👍👍👍👍💜💙❤
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💜.
Thank you, Rosey, when the likes of you and I have lived in the belly of the beast and have had to witness at best systemic fraud, you clearly realise they have the tools and the power to dismantle anyone, but there are too many of us now and we won’t accept corruption any longer. It looks like we have a job to do x
What's wrong with the Liverpool council how can they say things like we are going to shut you down when all those ppl want to do is help luv from New Zealand arohanui 💓 where's the government in helping the homeless of the streets
Amazing, I wish every town and city could unite and do something great like this to help the homeless, there's so many people out there who are suffering and need this type of thing.
Amazing all you have achieved you should be very proud
Well done Mr Kenwright you make us all very proud.
If been homeless in 2012 I lived rough for six months I will never forget the hardship n the horrible looks I got from people

UK slowly becoming a poor country
S Kumar a fucking Muslim country,
Crap and piss on the UK streets use metro paper to wipe my arse .
I am Homeless in Glasgow Scotland. Use WiFi hot spots .2020 . from Common wealth country grandparents from Britain. Sleep on the pavement camp Matt and sleeping bag don't beg people , don't claim benefits. Don't drink alcohol don't take drugs.
Because I went to same church Baptist church as Susan Tulley project worker at Glasgow city mission Christian charity refuse food and to wash my clothes. On there website helping homeless jobs place to stay . Was at city mission 5 months. Many Baptist churches in common wealth countries. Like the band at the church. Bible teaches us to love one another. Never treated any one like this no matter the skin colour. Susan Tulley project worker said go back to your country . David Harper and Clydale manager said don't come back. All 23 staff dislikes foreigners. Before Corona. City mission allow all the drunk people in the dinning hall not me. Can't eat at other charity white bread gluten effects me.sleep on pavement 4 nights no food. Judges at sheriff court Glasgow dislikes foreigners put a restraing order can't go to Baptist church and City mission. Judges dislikes foreigners. Sheriff court Glasgow Scotland is like a Circus. British people weren't treated like this in the common wealth countries. Tradesman seeking work. Keep to myself. Susan email stulley@glasgowcitymission.com or info@glasgowcitymission.com +44(0) 141 2212630 Luke .The way you treat others is the way you will be treated. Foringers are not welcomed to Glasgow Scotland. 2020.
It's going on with English-speaking countries in general and it's because of the hyper-individualistic culture.
Cardboard boxes and the Buckingham Palace! Queen's Platinum Jubilee? It must be a great accomplishment to live in total luxury for 70 years. It must be very tough! The Royal Family is not in touch with reality!
this video is a clear sign that homelessness IS SOCIETYS problem and not just the goverment etc. given the the right set of circumstances we should ALL pitch in. doesn,t hurt does it?????
and YES we need re-educating on homelessness ETC ETC. IT COULD BE ME/US "tomorrow".

It’s a disgrace that you still see people on the street begging in this day and age it’s a disgrace over the past few years walking around the city you see more and more people on the street in door ways probably hungry too everybody should have access to food water and a roof over there head.. shouldn’t be happening in today’s society
Such an inspiring group of people.

Where are their free, luxury hotel rooms? Oh, they are not immigrants. This country is a joke.
If you've not said that you're an addiction center, then why does the council have a problem? That's crazy. You're just a big free house where everyone is welcome. What's wrong with that?
I used to work in kingsway house 1979/ 1981 then the show room was full of luxury cars [cars of distinction] so sad too see Liverpool’s decline
Cxxx 💐🌹💚 from Tower Hill Kirkby Lecky side homeless in Hastings
Shocked to see this.. UK is a 1st world country. I believe at this point in time, nobody should be homeless.
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.
Shame on England!😣
Brings a tear. Of course it does little for the mentally ill or seriously drug addicted. Those problems need a different and more intense approach.
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!
Fuck you.
What beautiful people a business woman and a tone of beautiful people helping the vulnerable in need yous will all have good karma for your beautiful souls 🤗🤗👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏✌✌✌🤝🤝🤝

Imagine how many lives some of those guys have ruined and destroyed.
First time iv seen Kingsway house omg this need to happen again ... Can't belive they closed this down.
But use have this to give confidence to no it's worked and will again 🙏
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.
This is not a homeless epidemic this is a begging epidemic. The begging is to fund drug or alcohol abuse.
It gorgeous thing that you are doing ❤ to you God bless you
Wonderful and how easy is it to help the vulnerable in society. It just takes one determined person to care and other kind people follow. God help and bless the homeless and the people of Kingsway House .

What an amazing venture to try to tackle the homeless problem. You are doing a great job. A lot of people in our city now cannot tell who is homeless and who is a professional beggar. 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

May GOD BLESS THEM!!!!
As a volunteer in CSP I can see the great work that’s being done but there is always more to do - more people need to step up and start doing what Lawrence is and helping others as the benefits in helping others far outweigh just looking after yourself!
Watched this afew times , am always humbled see fellow humans with a good soul helping others , it's a great feeling. The best joy is seeing sister Clereece doing wat she does best and still doing it in 2021 keep up , ❤️, I beleave we always have homlesdness & always have folk to help the homeless , inshallah.
Fantastic initiative shown by the organisers, wonderful help from volunteers you should be very proud. I have a lot of respect and admiration for you. As I do for the homeless including those with mental health and addiction problems who are trying to improve their situation. 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 disgusting. Just shows how the government don’t give a shit about anybody but themselves. Terrible. If I was a millionaire, I’d certainly help you guys out. These people deserve a place to sleep. The whole system stinks, it’s not fair...
British people who are homeless and mentally ill should live as well as asylum seekers. Legitimate asylum seeks are welcome, but people experiencing hard times in the UK should also be housed.
Here is another good video about another Liverpool homeless charity called Emmaus Mersyside: ruclips.net/video/spkxmfuYQX4/видео.html
Fat nick sat in warm home what these guys did were amazing the council should help but they bloody dont so u put people back out the system needs change drastically well done guys for your hsrd work love time
Amazing watch- well done Lawrence & Everyone involved 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
One in 200 people in the UK are homeless!
Good on ya guys council will hate this vid cos it shows the gets they are not helping the people that matter,you know,the true locals that are down on there luck,come over the channel on a boat and they bend over backwards,makes me frickin sick.
Very sad, we need to change the way we think of homeless, it's not there fault, we can all help in some small way that will make difference to them . The saying is true, none of us are home, until all of us are home.
10%one off tax on the super rich.billions will be raised for the homeless and poor and unemployed
Spending all this money , " and Jim Jones is living in cardboard box "📦 😢
Landlords don't accept pets I have two small dogs.
But they accept druggies though
It's all about the $$$$ at the end of the day... Pathetic world we live in.
Why have I not heard about this man? Probably because I dont read the local rag. Came across him on of all things a YT advert and immediately looked him up. What an inspiration. Just messaged the company to see if I can volunteer in anyway. Bless you sir.

Good for you people, Proud of what you do as a team.
God bless you all.🥰🥰
Keep safe you good people ❤❤❤❤
I take my hat off to the people of kingsway because other people don't give a fuck. What annoys me is I go into any supermarket and the shelves are full and if 1 shelf was to be emptied the staff would refill it right away. It's 2019 and people are hungry and homeless these are fucking human beings we shouldn't look at there drug or drink habit look at them as a fellow human. For years my job is helping any people I don't care what colour you are or what you look like or your Beliefs I care about what is in your heart or if you need help, so don't just walk by guys actual give a fuck for once in your life and give a helping hand. This is heartbreaking to see anyone hungry or homeless
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.
Or your local Council should provide, hopefully Liverpool under new leadership will be that City
Shame on the councils.
Will you open your house?

There but for the grace of God go I. Anyone of us could end up homeless. You do not what is ahead of you.

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👎
That's sad labar
its nice to know there is this, you can only help them that needs help. with housing,,,mental health is another mater,care in the comunity is not working,..them that need help, are not getting it,we are going back to the 20th centuery.we need places that will help people for there needs. not classing them in the same cattogery.......

The Government just ordered £ 100,000,000 towards extra Police. but nothing for the homeless!!!!!. Where is the humanity about that.? Are we not looking after one another ? The same human as we all are. It could happen to anyone. Many of them Ex Forces!!! Please readers. Respect a homeless human always help our fellow human, you do not know how they got there. Greetings to all. FANTASTIC video.
God bless
What an amazing thing these ppl are doing for are homeless councils should be grateful for something like kingsway house for homing are homeless because let’s face it the council was prepared to leave them in doorways WTG kingsway
So dam heartbreaking.... god has a plan trust and belive 💋💋💋💋💯👊🏾

God bless Kingsway House and are great city help everyone 🙏
