#TBR185 Unhoused.org

Tall Boy Radio

Homeless. Unhoused. Rough-Sleepers. It's a community getting larger thanks to the cost of living crisis. Proud people with feelings that once had a rough over their head but now need help just to have a meal. Call it poor life choices, or blame what you will but they are people just like you or I. Some people don't like giving to charities because they don't know how the money is spent or see the difference that it makes. Anisha and her Husband Varon set up unhoused.org with all these things in mind. It's a charity with a difference, buy one, gift one. With every item you buy for yourself, they donate another one to a homeless shelter... or simply buy the items that you want to give and they will deliver them to the heart of the community for you. But it doesn't end there. If you've subscribed to their newsletter, you get to see the difference that your purchases are making. Anisha shares the story behind their idea and talks about the wider problems that need to be addressed for the unhoused community. The UK needs people like Anisha and Varon and they are looking for more people like them to help make this project bigger. Listen and find out all the different ways you can make a difference.
