Lots of people were sleeping out on the streets during that winter and it was a very cold one.
What a strange and difficult Christmas that was for so many people.
What are your memories of that winter?

On this day 5 years ago MoH crew were out on the deserted streets of the West End in the winter lockdown, checking in with people and organizing supplies.
It was eerie with all the decorations left up even though the shops and businesses were shut.
Little update from us in a very busy time and a massive thank you to all our supporters and donors and volunteers ✨️🎄❤️
