The Way In by Rainer Maria Rilke.Whoever you are, some evening take a stepout of your house, which you know so well.Enormous space is near, your house lies where it begins, whoever you are.Your eyes find it hard to tear themselvesfrom the sloping threshold, but with your eyesslowly, slowly, lift one black treeup, so it stands against the sky: skinny, alone.With that you have made the world.

Big news! 🎉 The #VagrancyAct is finally set to be scrapped.Since 2019, we've been part of a coalition of charities calling for this 200-year-old law to be repealed.Introduced after the Napoleonic Wars, the Vagrancy Act makes it a criminal offence to sleep rough, beg, or be found "without visible means of support". Ridiculous, right?Homelessness should no be a crime. And we all know that we don't end homelessness by criminalising it. We end it by providing safe homes and the right support.#ScrapTheAct #VagrancyAct #HomelessnessAwareness #RoughSleeping ... See MoreSee Less
