Every  year, thousands of people in the UK become homeless because of a  variety of social and economic factors. According to a 2019 report from  the Office for National Statistics,  about 4,677 people were sleeping rough on any night in England in 2018.  This is a decrease from 2017’s figure of 4,751, but homelessness  remains an issue in the UK. Charities such as Marie Curie offer help and  support to those affected by homelessness, providing expert care,  emotional support, and practical help. Through these organisations, we  can make a difference in the lives of those affected by homelessness.
