After volunteering at the camps of Calais and Dunkirk in France, they bring their help to those who have nothing in the streets of Camden. For about nine weeks now, the Refugee Community Kitchen (RCK) has been offering – along with the local NGO Streets Kitchen – hot meals and support to those who most need it. We met Janie Mac, one of the coordinators, on a cold Wednesday night just outside Camden Town tube station where a temporary “canteen” has been set up. Janie says RCK gives people essential support that the government simply fails to provide. After Camden the organisation wants to expand into other areas of London.

I met Richard at the No Second Night Out hub on Hilldrop Crescent. Of all the many people I have spoken to about the issue of homelessness this year, he was perhaps the most eloquent and thoughtful in what he said. He made it clear how the poison of homelessness is hard to escape. Homeless in Camden :: Back to homepage :: Follow us on Twitter :: File Download (6:58 min / 7 MB)

Only today, Prince William launched a new appeal to combat homelessness on behalf of Centrepoint and the Evening Standard. It’s a cause that is close to his heart, and an issue that is spiralling across London.

He hears about how difficult it can be to access help and how it’s not just veterans on the streets – even young mothers and children can end up outside.
