Manya has become a good friend since I met her at #onethirdsoupkitchen She’s a former nurse who’s fallen in hard times and always asks me to share her story so that “it may help others!” I can see her deteriorating week by week and has been in and out of hostels since losing her home last year. She’s asked me to personally pass her thanks to Dulal, @crisis_uk @only_a_pavement_away Marie-Elise and @mo_hydepark @mo_hotels for the continued support of the most vulnerable during lockdown! #coronoachronicles #foodbike #roughsleepers #bookbikelondon #homelessness #feedinglondon #londres #blacklivesmatter #charity #community #coronavirus #covid19 #dignity #endhomelessness #home #homeless #homelessness #hope #inclusion #london #smile #support #parramatta #theanfieldtourist #friend #nurse #frontline #covidhobbies #covidgiveaway #covidgoals (at Barking, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCG5NiohbHY/?igshid=15il7e7wldbpi

Emma is the sixth #homeless friend I’ve bumped into at Barking Town Centre who has been a regular at #onethirdsoupkitchen Oddly enough she hasn’t a clue about rough sleepers being housed up in Hostels and has continued sleeping rough whilst trying to gather a few pounds each day for food, drink, warmth. She’s usually very jolly but seemed really down today and blamed it on the drizzle. I told her I had a real treat from the @mo_hotels Hyde Park, London. I confessed to Emma that it was the first time I’d served food from such a top establishment. I couldn’t resist and joined her in eating one veggie pack too. I’m #Diabetic so I blamed it on that. It was delicious! So thanks to Dulal Ahmed from @crisis_uk Crisis, Greg Mangham, CEO @only_a_pavement_away I have engaged on three levels today in serving #homeless friends. 1. Rough street sleepers 2. Homeless friends in hostels 3. Rough sleepers in temporary Coronavirus accommodation I’ve passed on hostel info to Emma and also @crisis_uk too but I’ve a feeling I’m going to have to take her there myself. Let’s see what happens eh? #blacklivesmatter #charity #community #coronavirus #covid19 #dignity #homelesspeople #homelessnothopeless #homelesslife #homelessfriend #homelessoutreach #homelessnessprevention #crime #endhomelessness #home #homeless #homelessness #hope #inclusion #london #smile #support #theanfieldtourist #cyclist #cyclelife #lifebehindbars #theadoptedacouser #thewanderinglondoner (at Barking Town Centre) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBQ-tJNBfu6/?igshid=1e97jjner70wf

The thing with rough sleeping friends is you don’t know what their destination is from one day to the next. Barking & Dagenham seems a bit of a magnet during Covid-19 and I’ve bumped into quite a few people who I’ve had the pleasure of their company at #onethirdsoupkitchen I met Marie in the Town Centre today and we had a chat. She has had to leave her hostel as she is needs to be as far away from a particular person as possible for her safety and well being. There are many rough sleepers like Marie who feel safer on the streets rather than within the four walls of a residential home. She really appreciates the efforts made for her but her sanity and state of mind come first. It says a lot to me when a person feels more at ease on the streets and begs the question... Should more investment be made in social or permanent supported housing? I feel a cool, kind hearted lady like Marie can get herself together again with a little help and assisted living support. It would do wonders for her well being and mental health in general. Ruhul sent me a new sleeping bag for Manya and inspiring six year old Princess Amaira had bought sanitary items and toiletries with her parents Maruf and Nazia. I made a judgement call and passed the contents of my rucksack onto Marie as she is just as needy at this time. I’ll just have to repeat the trick again for Manya. Our plans don’t always go accordingly and there’s always plot twists and turns. #coronachronicles #theanfieldtourist #thewanderinglondoner #roughsleeper #homeless #homelessness #roughsleepers #charity #people #photography #project #story #streetphotography #thepeopleproject #cause #england #london #humanisehomeless #wemakechange #weendhomelessness #homelessphotography #humanisehomelessness #stories #homelesslivesmatter #roughsleeping #homelessnessisnotacrime #kindness #roughsleepersmatter #homelesspeople (at Barking, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBLtpqihxtz/?igshid=1s0h3thp6h82b

Met my good friend Stu today and told him that #onethirdsoupkitchen had served yesterday. He looks really bedraggled and told me he’d recently been stabbed by another homeless person who seemed mentally unfit. Poor Stu needed stitches at hospital. He says he needs help with paperwork and ID and has a lawyer who’s helping him get his papers in order. Stu tells me that although he has a place to sleep at the local hostel it’s not easy living there, with little privacy and difficulty with social distancing. He’s not complaining at all - I can testify Stu’s not like that all. He’s an educated and gracious gentleman who’s fallen on hard times following a long career in the army. Stu has a story that will resonate with most people - especially the working class. He lost his job, struggled to pay bills, buy food and generally stay afloat. Unemployment has had a massive impact on his mental and physical health. All this has led to a rapid downward spiral and loss of control. Stu isn’t bitter though. He loves reading James Patterson and the bible (not particularly in that order though!). Today he told me, “I’m rising Emz, I’m making a full comeback son!” I don’t doubt him. People have recovered from worse. It’s just that he seems out of it and there’s something in his eyes that’s got me a little worried. After lockdown we’ve agree that he might volunteer at the soup kitchen. It’s a start I suppose. #politics #happy #streetphotography #homeless #roughsleeper #homelessnessawareness #endpoverty #poorunfortunatesouls #brothers #covidkindness #helpingpeople #coronavirus #poorlife #helpingotherssucceed #helpinghands #instagood #happiness #labour #motivation #world #poorpeopleproblems #unity #fun #quotes #helpothers #theanfieldtourist #theadoptedscouser #coronachronicles #thewanderinglondoner (at Co-op) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA0iC4bhQlm/?igshid=1xcsp37pbc49s

Eid Mubarak one and all! Sudden food overload means I’ve got the Delhi belly today 😅 Had a nervous time leading lockdown Eid Salah and Khutba at home what with Dad waiting to pounce rapid like a golden Eagle on any errors 🤣 He is sharp as a tack and clinical with it too 😂 Wishing you all a blessed Eid and Sunday. Unfortunately this year we can’t extend a home visit invitation to anyone who is isolating or needs company on this very special day but happy to do isolation visits with food, a book or just a doorstep chat. Just like any other global celebration this is a time of great joy and celebration with loved ones but there are many who will be isolated and not be blessed with the company of friends and family. Some may be estranged, whilst others may be experiencing a crisis. It is therefore important that we look out for all members of our community and networks and reach out through a call, text or our various social media. Thanks to the internet the global community is closer than ever and a brief gesture can make a person’s day better altogether. We are capable of magical things! #hccfoodbank and #onethirdsoupkitchen are on standby for food pack requests. The Batphone is on... just in case. #eidmubarak #lockdowneid #quaranteid #thewanderinglondoner #eid #eid2020 #quarantinelife #lockdowneid #lockdowneid2020 #covid19 #covidkindness #eidday #sunday #theanfieldtourist #sundayfunday #sundayvibes #sundayservice #sundaybest #bookbikelondon #foodbike #medibike #cycle #eat #drink #celebrate #isolation #ramadan202 #shawwal #happyquotes (at Barking, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAkOWsLA1a5/?igshid=nd6yvnbi96mj

I met a #homeless gentleman who usually benefits from the services at the Welcome Centre. He was perched on a small wall on the High Road and rolling a ciggie. I told him I’d try bring some hot food tomorrow. Five minutes later I got a call from Ismail to say Royal Catering & Events had Biriani for the One Third Soup Kitchen to deliver! I love it when a plan comes together! #homeless #coronavirus #coronachronicles #onethirdsoupkitchen #ramadan #ramadanrevup #theanfieldtourist #ramadandiary #thewanderinglondoner #homeless #homelessness #charity #love #help #streetphotography #community #donate #covid #poverty #homelesslivesmatter #volunteer #homelesspeople #giveback #street #coronavirus #endhomelessness #helpthehomeless #helpingothers #humanity #food #hope #poor (at Welcome Project Ilford) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAI84uNhptP/?igshid=1sofh4w21wa9f

Many people who become homeless do not show up in official figures. This is known as hidden homelessness. This includes people who become homeless but find a temporary solution by staying with family members or friends, living in squats or other insecure accommodation. #hccfoodbank in partnership with #onethirdsoupkitchen will continue to work with partner agencies to continue to provide support on the ground. Now more than ever we want them to know that they are very much in our thoughts. It’s be against everything I believe in if we neglect them now. #coronachronicles #hccfoodbank #ramadan #homeless #covidkindness #coronavirus #ramadandiary #ramadandiary #picturinglockdownn #endhomelessness #ramadanrevup #theanfieldtourist #roughsleepers #helproughsleepers #roughsleepersmatter #roughsleepersinitiative #roughsleeperstour #roughsleepersoflondon #roughsleepersarepeople #roughsleeperslondon #roughsleepersoutreachservice #homelessshelter #endyouthhomelessness #roughsleepersdeservebetter #roughsleepersarehumanbeings #roughsleeperstreecount #roughsleepersguild #roughsleepersdoubled #roughsleepersnotwelcome #roughsleepersproject (at Brockelbank Lodge) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_u3ihoHumg/?igshid=vfr93cyabb2e
