I visited London this week and was so shocked to see how many homeless people there were. As I sat and ate my Pizza in a warm restaurant I watched the snow come down whilst the homeless people were desperately trying to keep warm in a tent opposite.

At Christmas, my sister and I managed to raise over £500 towards sleeping bags for the homeless which were very kindly distributed by The Big Warm Up. Now that the temperature has dropped even more I feel a hot water could really be a matter of life or death for these people.

We don't know their situations, whether they are addicts, seeking asylum or simply don't fit the criteria to be housed - lets not judge - a life's a life.

Please help with whatever you can. Hot water bottles cost as little as £5.

Thanks in advance for any generous donations.
