As we mark World Homelessness Day 2015 - the 5th such day since the initiative started in 2010, surely we're all wondering how long must the scandal last, in which, for whatever reason, people end up with no roof over their heads - and we in one of the wealthiest countries in the world.
Back in 2013, LandAid awarded £36,500 to fund essential repairs to the Zebs Centre and create an IT suite, a consultation room and a social space in the basement. Today the results are clear for all to see.
I'm here on a sunny Thursday afternoon with Chief Executive Paul Morrish and fifteen enthusiastic representatives from LandAid's Foundation Partner network to visit the Bromley by Bow Centre, a community facility supported by LandAid funding.
At Jamie's Farm in Herefordshire, the second project from the team behind the hugely successful Hill House Farm in Wiltshire, many young people experience the country for the very first time.
The morning after the LandAid Run - limbs still aching - I visited Roots and Shoots in Lambeth, a project LandAid has supported over a number of years. While there I heard the story of Daniel.
I'm not aware if 'to Blatter' has become a verb yet. I suspect it will soon - 'To wilfully ignore the evidence, to turn a blind eye, to believe that night is day.'
On Thursday 11 June, our Grants and Projects Officer Elise travelled to Northern Ireland to visit two inspiring charities who are tackling disadvantage. Here's her write-up:
Two of the grants that LandAid had made were to charities that wanted to provide new kitchens for their projects. Graham Mynott from Keyhouse in Bradford showed us round the large kitchen that we'd funded and described how it had helped them support young people who had been homeless to learn basic cooking skills.
My first charity visit as a LandAid Ambassador was to a project in Leeds called Renew.
