1/. For too long, homelessness has been explained as the failure of the individual to cope with the stresses & strains of life
We see it for what it is: a failure of the state to guarantee equality of opportunity, equal access to essential services to all amnesty.org.uk/resources/amne…

2/. "England’s housing and homelessness system is effectively a gruelling obstacle course
Many fail to get past the first barrier because they are not considered eligible for homelessness support
Others fall through trap doors along the way"

3/. Three in 10 fear homelessness within five years due to housing costs, according to an @AmnestyUK survey.
Unless housing is rightfully recognised as a basic legal human right, there is no way to hold the Government to account for its woeful failings.

IF YOU'RE COLD, TAKE ONE
IF YOU CAN HELP, LEAVE ONE
What happened next was miraculous

1/. In 2018, inspired by this tweet👇from the Taco Stop, Texas, I put out a call for space to set up a #TakeOneLeaveOne rail to provide warm clothes for anyone who needs them in winter
A London church - & local shop keepers - agreed to house it for a week

2/. I got a #TakeOneLeaveOne sign printed & attached it to a rail outside the church near my office & filled a rail with warm clothes
What happened next was miraculous
Instead of staying a week, it stayed 3 months & came every winter
& the idea spread

When #TakeOneLeaveOne launched three winters ago, it was to share an idea to show how everyone could help rough sleepers & homeless people in their communities
With #COVID19 greater hardship, #TOLO is now providing warm clothes to ANYONE who needs them👇

1/. As freezing temperatures hit, we put a clothes rail outside a church with a sign:
IF YOU'RE COLD, TAKE ONE
IF YOU CAN HELP, LEAVE ONE
What happened next was miraculous
The rail filled with warm clothes
Rough sleepers helped themselves
The rail was replenished every day

2/. We'd asked the church & surrounding shops permission to keep the rail there for 2 weeks to see how it went
It ended up staying for 4 months & returned each winter...& the idea spread
#TakeOneLeaveOne rails popped up around the UK, US, Canada & beyond

3/. The idea for a #TakeOneLeaveOne in the UK came in 2018 from a Tweet by a woman who'd set up a rail outside her taco store in Texas
She'd got the idea after seeing a similar concept in Mexico
It shows the power of an idea
A simple idea that is both needed & "sticky". #TOLO

Thanks for spreading the word & helping homeless people & rough sleepers to stay warm this winter
We got the idea for #TakeOneLeaveOne from a woman in the US who got the idea from Mexico
#TOLO is not a solution to homelessness. But it is sadly needed.
