London homelessness hits record high

With winter not far away, many homeless people will be trying to stay warm.

The Glass Door Homeless Charity is holding its annual Sleep Out on Friday 4th October, and is aiming to raise over £120,000 to help fund its winter night shelters and help homeless people get off the streets.

The latest annual data from the Combined Homelessness and Information Network shows that rough sleeping in London is at the highest level ever and has risen by 19%.

Nora spoke to the Head of Fundraising at Glass Door, Matt Hickey.
