Saving the homeless from attack during Halloween


Every year around Halloween and Guy Fawkes Night the homeless population are subjected to malicious attacks by youths and drunken yobs such as fireworks shot at them or people setting them alight.


This year with the support of the Safer Islington Partnership, Government Offices for London, Union Chapel and Pilion's Shelter Me! Project, we are going to try and make a difference, we are implimenting shelter for both nights to help prevent such attacks. We will be providing food, drinks and a bed for the night for the vulnerable homeless and rough sleepers within the Borough.
