This October we are asking you to #WakeUpToHomelessness by sharing St Mungo's campaign on social media to raise awareness about rough sleeping with your network.
As the nights get darker and the weather gets colder, we're spending the month raising awareness of the dangers of homelessness and rough sleeping.
Find out moreWayne's story
After Wayne found his mum dead, he struggled to cope with the trauma. He turned to drugs and ended up sleeping rough for many years. He felt like no-one cared.
That all changed when Wayne found St Mungo's. Our outreach workers got Wayne off the streets and into recovery. While in accommodation, his support worker encouraged him to apply for a construction skills workshop. The workshop has given him the skills and confidence to get his life back on track.
"I had never had support before I met my St Mungo's worker. St Mungo's have played a big part in the changing of my life".
We’re sharing stories of people who have experienced homelessness from all walks of life. Join our movement, together we can end homelessness.

Week One - Women's homelessness
St Mungo's #WakeUpToHomelessness campaign raises awareness about homelessness and the dangers of rough sleeping. This week St Mungo's will be shining a light on the experiences of women.
People often think of homelessness as a men’s issue. And it’s true that the statistics show that more men sleep rough than women.
But women who are homeless are much more likely to experience trauma or abuse on the streets than men. That's why they often remain hidden.
