Homeless Plaques

Most homeless charities show people at their worst. We celebrated their success. In rough sleeping spots across North London, we placed 50 historical blue plaques – in doorways, tube stations and alleyways. When you got up close, you found the name of a once-homeless person who lived there, and the story of how they overcame homelessness with help from local charity All People All Places. The plaques trended at #3 on Reddit and were picked up by ITV.
