Tonight in London more than 30,000 people will be homeless. For the past 25 years the St Botolph's Crypt Centre has been welcoming many of those with no roof over their heads.
The centre offers vital practical help - all too often help that is denied by other agencies. But to cope with the growing demand, the centre plans to expand, especially its counselling and medical facilities. For the sake of the people who need help, more funds are urgently needed.
