In 1967 Bill Shearman, Iain Macleod - the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Nick Beacock - a curate at St Barnabas Church in East Ham, organised a rally with a mission to end homelessness in London. That event gave birth to the charity that we know today as Crisis.

58 years on - the fight to eradicate homelessness continues. This October, for the second consecutive year, we are following in the footsteps of Bill Shearman, Nick Beacock and Iain Macleod who, as we do today, believed that having a roof over one's head should be a human right not a privilege.
