The problem of homelessness in Manchester drastically gets worse every year. In 2010 the average number of homeless people in the city was 7. In 2015 the number recorded was 70. A 900% increase in just 5 years shouldn't even be possible, which is why I'll be taking part in a tandem sky dive in April 2017 in order to raise money for Barnabus which is an amazing homeless charity based in Manchester that offer food, shelter, support and a lifeline to those in need.
