    Really like the way you don't show the homeless person's face that's so thoughtful of you as I've watched others RUclips videos and they just walk up on the person and show there faces it's wrong, your doing it the best way I've seen, keep up the good work

    I was going to suggest a trolley of some kind 👍🏻you are doing a grand job helping the homeless, but not always do they get it how hard people work to provide what they do. Always put your self and family life first, and whatever time you have spare help out on the streets. They don’t see things as we see things, there are a lot of people who have so many problems and issues they have to deal with . Not always their fault. Patience that’s what you need working with the homeless, all the best to you

    @thehomelessyoutuber844 11 месяцев назад

    The least someone can do when you've asked them what they need and then said you're going to get it/them, is wait for you. It's not like they particularly have somewhere to be and even say they had an appointment with the housing or social etc then they could at least tell you and arrange a time to meet back up with you. When someone gave me my tent I waited a few hours for them to get back and wouldn't even nip in a nearby coffee place to go to the bathroom! Mind you when I had to use the bathroom passers by didn't mind keeping an eye on my things. The thing is though Kev, you absolutely need to take time out for yourself, especially when you have your own life to take care of. You're doing more than most if not all of the homeless charities actually do on the streets as it is. You're also bringing more awareness to the plight of the homeless and highlighting how the system fails vulnerable people time and time again.

    @johntyrrell6591 11 месяцев назад

    I'm sure Kev, if you can go to arrange a visit to the Whitechapel Centre Centre for the homeless, in Langdale Street, they may give you the reason and what they do to help the homeless. They also have Outreach workers who walk the city looking for rough sleepers and offer them support and advice. It is not advisable to be offering electrical goods as these are usually sold to fund a drug habit or to supply tents, as the Council will remove them if they see them. There is no easy solution for the homeless problem in the City, like everything else, it is down to funding.

    Kev, you are doing the best you bloody well can, so don't apologise for having a rant. You find things out as you go along, so you will always be tweaking things. It's good to see you with Craig, with the food, which shows that you don't have to be doing things individually. Maybe you can coordinate things so that it is not such a strain on any of you. As you rightly said, you do have plenty of other things you need to do. Try not to get demoralised by any thing that doesn't go to plan, as you very well know, life is hard for most of us & so just make sure you look after yourself. If you are not good, then you won't be in good shape to help others & going with that, that includes YOU asking for help also. ( Do I sound like your mother? ) 🤣

    So you went there, thanks for listening to my suggestion. These are long term homeless here, around the St. Nicks and Church Garden. I wanted you to show that this problem is not just in the most Touristic parts and the main shopping Streets of the City. You'll also find them, for example, out in Litherland. It's a big problem that is all over Merseyside, (as well as most other bigger towns and citys) so big, that 1 man alone, like youself, will never be able to conquer it.... and this is why, in my opinion, the public, at least those who care, must be the damnded most nuisance possible at the council offices and the homes of all Politicians of their constituency.
    Sorry if this is a bit scattered and difficult to read, but I get a bit mad and emotional when you constantly feature this problem without bringing long term results.
    I'm not angry at you Kev but at, well I suppose the whole government and the Sunak led Tories when I look at the big picture. It pains me to see the fall of the UK especially in Liverpool where so much money has been/is being spent on rebuilding, renovating, reforming all around the city. As some may know who read my comments, I live in Switzerland where this should not worry me, but It does, Big time, as i'm confronted with it the two or three times a year that I visit. I can't imagine what my state of mind would be if I lived there!
    PS: believe it or not, poverty is also noticeable in some of the bigger towns here in Switzerland, it's noticeable in the form of street begging. However, putting up Tents is aginst the law, which is strictly enforced. All I can say is good luck Kev and thanks for your perseverance. Steve.
