But Should Not End There.
We all like to say we do our bit for charity, helping others is indeed a very noble thing to do, some donate their money and some donate their time. So many families deserve to spend time with their loved ones in their own home, sometimes this is not always possible due to work, illness not having the time, let it be a learning curve we should all make the time no matter what the circumstances are as you will never get that back and can not measure that in monetary value.
This time last year 1stFF wanted to help the homeless in Milton Keynes, we found a great charity ‘The Winter Night Shelter’ to support. In December this year one of our staff members will be visiting helping out directly to see first hand the good work they do with a view to implement further initiatives to help the cause. Often it is the root of the cause for homelessness that needs to be addressed before we can really make a difference.
This Christmas lets focus on really understanding the root of the cause of homelessness, a short term solution can be implemented but it is the long term view that makes the biggest difference of all.
