The Homeless Fund: Join our campaign to beat homelessness in London within two years

Today the Evening Standard has launched its most ambitious campaign ever: a two-year commitment to tackle the homelessness epidemic in our city. In total some 170,000 people are now believed to be homeless in London. For the last six months we have worked with 23 of the capital’s frontline homeless charities to develop a strategy for how we can help address the homeless crisis in London.

The campaign will start by working with some of the most vulnerable people — women who tonight have no place of their own to call home.

The charities know that no one organisation can tackle this alone. That is why they have joined together to form a united body, the London Homeless Collective, to co-ordinate activities and fundraising efforts. This is a crisis that will be addressed by all of us joining together — the Evening Standard, London's charities and you, the people who live and work in this city. Together we can help address this issue.

The Leader podcast spoke to the man behind our most ambitious campaign ever, Oliver Poole.
