HAPPY NEW YEAAAARRR! We hope you’re striding into 2020 with a sense of rejuvenation and a fresh perspective on the year ahead. We have the most inspiring of podcasts to help you usher in the first week of 2020. Homelessness is a growing issue in the UK. We believe that the placemaking industry is perfectly placed to play a key role in creating lasting, substantive solutions to the causes of homelessness, as well as lifting people out of vulnerable positions through providing jobs, skills and training.In this podcast we talk to Chris Hancock and Julian Burnham, who, as well as being utterly lovely people are inspiring advocates for the Homelessness. Chris Hancock is Head of Best Practice at Crisis UK and Julian Burnham is Managing Director of Change Please. They join Samantha Sen to kick off a new decade and talk about the causes of Homelessness, support and solutions and how the placemaking industry can get involved. Along the way we talk about the build up of pressure in todays society, people falling through the net and the importance of empowerment. We hear about what it means to be able to give something, after years begging and why getting people indoors is the best way to start to address other life limiting issues.The solutions are complex and it’s a process but there are opportunities to get involved.
