Title: Advice Needed
Post by: tunnie on 08 July 2009, 10:30:52
For the second time a homeless person spent the night in our front garden.

A couple of weeks ago, when leaving for work, i was reversing out, and saw a man curled up at the far end of our front garden behind the garage. (out of sight from the main house)

I went to investigate, i thought i might be a local lad who had to much beer and failed to find his way home, but when i got there, i saw his shoes where in bad shape (toes sticking out the end) he did not have a bag or any possensions, he was quite clearly a homeless person.

That morning mother tunnie and some locals spoke to him, and he moved on.

He was back again today, again he moved off without creating any fuss. But this time mother tunnie reported he was in a much worse state than before.

Is there anyone we can call to help him? I don't think it would be a good idea to call the police as he is not causing any trouble.

We live in Northamptonshire, are there any suitable charities?  :-/

Yep. My local garden centre had some very cheap Gardena irrigation timers a couple of weeks back. Now, some strategically placed hanging baskets and the timer set to give them a generous dousing at 5 AM...

But seriously, I'm sure there must be a local volunteers group or charity that can assist.

Mind you, how comfy is your garden? :-?

If it's too comfy just plant a load of Rosa rugosa like I've got along the side of my driveway. Vicious stuff.  ;)

Could easily happen to anyone, falling down on their luck.  Sadly, some OOF'ers have been closer to hitting the deck than some more fortunate others, if you follow....   ;)

forgive me if i may sound ignorant in my reply, if i do its because i clearly dont know enough about the subject, but i'm pretty sure there are places to go for people who have ended up in this situation, so people never have to be forced to sleep rough
