Emergency Shelters in Dover
- 15 January 2013 23:57210249Tonight I was informed that the first 10 people who turn up for the night are accepted at a shelter.
Does this mean that anyone else in search of a bed will be turned down and left to sleep on a bench?
It is getting frosty, snow is on the way. So how does the emergency shelter system function in Dover?
Does anyone have a clue?
In our opulent society, should people be left to sleep out in the cold?Chanters, Drums and Drones Potty Time http://youtu.be/99fMqpjnXYA

But I do pay full council tax and wonder why my tax is not also invested in a more reliable shelter service for people in need of an over-night stay.Chanters, Drums and Drones Potty Time http://youtu.be/99fMqpjnXYA

From the site...
"The "Don't Just Walk Past - Tell Us" campaign gives people the option of calling a 24-hour helpline number 0800 567 76 99 or completing a form on the charity's website http://www.porchlight.org.uk/tellus. You will be asked some simple questions about the person you have seen so that the specialist rough sleeper team can easily locate and identify them."Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing.
