Beggars…

Seemed to be quite a high number of beggars around the stadium, never really noticed it before but counted at least 4 or 5.

Is it a sign of the times or a gang working together?
 

Homeless people - so sad.

What's worse is that because of contactless payments hardly anyone (including me) has change to give them.
Before lockdown I used to save up my £1 coins to give to the homeless at Kings Cross - I really need to start doing that again.

But - What I learned from an investment banker mate of mine who doubled up as a refuge centre helper around Trafalgar Square .... Is that what homeless people really want is some dialogue (worth more than money) you can fling 50p at them but really what they crave is some kind words..... to feel like they belong and still matter. Just a "hi how are you".

This thread has reminded me to get my act together.

Thank you.
