During the interview James Bowen was asked about the best way to help homeless people - was it by donating to a charity like Shelter, giving money direct etc. His reply was that it wasn't for him to say as people should make their own decision. Then he added, almost inaudibly "but something to eat is always welcome."
Do Boots still do the O2 meal deal on a Monday? It would be the easiest thing in the world to get this and pass it on to someone who needs it more.
Could you also please repost the details of the Homeless Period charity TM. A womble or two would cover the cost of something to go in a little parcel

Food/hot drinks are fab. Clothes/hat/gloves to keep warm is vital in this weather ..... just pop some old ones in your bag for when you see someone in need. Try to avoid cash. I know it maybe hard to accept, but old water proof shoes/boots are always needed.
There are a number of schemes where they pack a backpack with clothing and food, leave in places were homeless people are more likely to be. However, it was very sad that in one such area a man was recently found frozen to death.
My youngest son always used to give his sweets or pick flowers for people in the summer.... it was amazing just how wonderful everyone responded to him (he got a few hugs).100 -
