Christmas day in temporary housing & shelters in the UK. 83,962 in London alone. The goverment were petitioned to build an extra 20,000 social rented homes a year to help lift thousands of children out of homelessness and bad housing.
There are more than one million children who live in housing unfit for human habitation, which impacts on their health, education and future prospects, according to Shelter's own research.
Is it not shocking that, in the 21st century, there are thousands of children in Britain waking up homeless on Christmas Day and every other day of the year. We're not going forwards but backwards and this shouldn't be happening in the UK in the 21st Centuary
Here we are in 2007 and how many children are going to be in the same situation this Christmas?
