Today is World Homeless Day so it was a pleasure to welcome Crisis Cymru to the Mansion House to mark that occasion with a coffee morning for their partners and volunteers.
The concept of 'World Homeless Day' emerged from online discussions between people working to respond to homelessness from various parts of the world. It was inaugurated on the 10th of October 2010. Since its founding, World Homeless Day has been observed on every continent except Antarctica, in several dozen countries.
The purpose of World Homeless Day is to draw attention to homeless people’s needs locally and provide opportunities for the community to get involved in responding to homelessness, while taking advantage of the stage an ‘international day’ provides.
Crisis is one of my Lord Mayor's charities so I am hoping that by the end of the year we will be able to pass on a substantial sum of money to them to assist in their work in supporting homeless people through their Skylight project.
