Helping the homeless
As part of a campaign to raise awareness of the begging issue, we are asking people to donate money to homelessness charities instead of giving money directly to beggars on the street.
Westminster City Council has teamed up with homelessness charities Thames Reach Bondway, The Passage and Connections at St Martins-in-the-Field to raise £10,000 for charities and drug treatment programmes in the city.
Donating is easy, and makes a real difference to those that need it most.
