Hotels that Help

The UK's homelessness crisis became unbearable for student Tom Nevitt after his own difficult personal experiences. This is how he single-handedly launched his non profit Hotels That Help.

    Hi Robert F, there are over 130,000 homeless children in the UK, living with their families in often unsuitable conditions such as hostels. Unfortunately these are the facts (Government statistics) :/

    Hi Curits, I actually work at least 50 hours a week for Hotels That Help (running the whole operation single-handedly) and have done for almost two years now. And no, I don't get paid a penny for this. I work 2 days a week in a shop to pay my bills, and can only dream of earning 10K a month! šŸ˜‚ I don't think you should be so quick to wrongly judge and accuse people you don't know!

    Homelessness will never be solved with accommodation alone, most homeless adults would need constant babysitting for the first year to keep them on track and off the streets, alot ppl forget or don't realise its a lifestyle choice for alot of homeless ppl because they don't function in a home environment...

    More empty houses than homeless. This is what happens when society says house prices are more important than human lives.

    Homeless children would be taken by social services.
