This is the first in a series of vlogs focusing on homelessness, prostitution, addiction and youth culture with a perspective of love, truth and hope. First up is a badly edited, shakily filmed, bundle of the weird and wonderful taken from the months i spent jamming with homeless people. this is a tiny snippet of what I experienced.
Amazing organizations who do the real work:
Shelter: http://england.shelter.org.uk/
StreetLytes: http://www.streetlytes.org/
Homeless London: http://www.homelesslondon.org/details.asp?id=LP115
Salvation Army: http://www1.salvationarmy.org.uk/uki/www_uki.nsf
Centre Point: http://www.centrepoint.org.uk/
Crisis: http://www.crisis.org.uk/
St Mungo's: http://www.mungos.org/
the London Connection: http://www.connection-at-stmartins.org.uk/
And although the specific site for social transformation is down, Holy Trinity Brompton run a fantastic project that continues to change lives.
this is absolutely and totally not copywrited by Miles-Alex Peckover, it's all yours. I wrote all the music and if you like it please check out my band at: http://soundcloud.com/captain-angelo
@cameop3 thank you so much, what i'll say is it takes experience and discernment to give money to someone who won't be overcome by temptation. The better thing is to carry a list of phone numbers for hostels, a spare cereal bar/sandwich or the best of all just to give conversation and show that person some true humanity. Bless :)

Very Powerful. I will defiantly think of this next time i pass some one in need, and give what i can. I like the fact that you showed how a lot of the homeless do not actually fit the general stereotypes and how a lot of the time they are forced in to that position of homelessness because of events that have happened, events which i couldn't even begin to imagine happening to me. Makes me think how lucky i really am. The music is great too very fitting. Good Job!
