Yesterday, on World Homeless Day Debbie Cracknell and Kate Bourne visited the Curzon Cinema to watch ‘I’m STILL HERE’ an incredible film created by Under One Sky, a volunteer-led charity striving to end homelessness in the UK and beyond.   The film was made to give people living on the street a voice, revealing what can be achieved through community and compassion.   We urge everyone to watch the film, donate, or support this important organisation in any way you can (today Debbie is volunteering and handing out sandwiches).   Watch the documentary here: https://lnkd.in/eKTnTeJ7   Donate here: https://lnkd.in/eY6PJYk6
