Norwich Residents?

[Gavmacp]

Are there many Norwich residents or people that visit Norwich on a frequent basis on this site?

"The Big Issue offers people who are homeless the opportunity to earn their own money; a livelihood. The Big Issue Foundation, as an independent charity for people who are homeless, offers vendors the opportunity of a life. We work tirelessly alongside our vendors to help them deal with the issues that have caused their homelessness or have developed as a result of hitting the streets."

Of course any help that can be squeezed out of a question and answer site would be invaluable too.

Gav, there are many people like Jim and it's great that townspeople and other charities help them .

I wish him and his fellow Big Issues sellers the best of luck and hope he gets back on his feet soon and into something with more permanence soon.

If I am ever in Norwich I would happily have a cuppa and chat with him.

Gavmacp, // I tried and failed!//

You tried and failed to do what? You said you want to help this man find accommodation but you haven’t responded to the suggestions here or the enquiries. I asked you if you’d approached the council, or the charities and agencies that work for the homeless, and if so what was the outcome? You didn’t respond. In order to present ourselves as caring human beings we can all make sympathetic noises, but some of us presumed this was a genuine cry for help and offered practical ideas. All ignored.
