1,720 people died while experiencing homelessness in the UK last year... 💔 ​That includes 50 children. ​Since 2017, over 10,000 people have died without a secure place to call home. This isn’t a housing statistic — it is a national scandal. www.bigissue.com/news/housing...

1,700 people died while homeless in 2025. It's a 'national scandal'
Museum of Homelessness’s annual homeless deaths count found a 6.8% increase in a year. It's a warning for Andy Burnham’s pledge to end rough sleeping

wondering: over the years we've helped out various people who have been in commercial leases where everyone knows that it's actually residential. but it's not really our thing. Is there anyone dealing with this obviously big issue? Like Hackney/Haringey?
