A slightly sick of marketing by dominoes. Pizza isn't going to stop the homeless freezing in doorways; donating cash to the Salvation Army would be money a lot better spent: https://www.leamingtoncourier.co.uk/news/community-facebook-page-appealing-for-help-delivering-pizzas-to-homeless-in-leamington-1-8397354 |

OK it's a little bit on the positive side, but we ought be doing far more for the homeless (where we can, and where they're prepared to accept help). |

It goes against William Booth's policy, not to help at source, i.e.when they are freezing in doorways, whatever we think., instead of waiting for committees to decide what to do, where in some cases its too late. Some of his--Booths -policies/ dreams have been somewhat arrogantly weakened / modernised. So let's stick to the basics and keep helping , and stop people freezing to death in front of us. |

This is good, but will only help where the homeless are prepared to ask for help. Sadly, many are too proud to ask for help. But being fair, any help to the genuinely homeless is to be applauded. |
