Some people have no choice
A Lancashire county councillor who spent a night on the street to raise money for – and awareness of – the plight of homeless veterans says that his experience was probably very different to theirs.
Speaking to the Local Democracy Reporting Service moments after completing the challenge, County Cllr Clempson – who slept on the ground in a sleeping bag – said that it had been “a little bit wet” for the trio during the night, but that they had had the edge taken off their self-imposed night under the stars in a way that would not always be the case for those veterans with little choice but to take to the streets.
“There are lots of reasons why people might end up on the street – veterans or otherwise. And even for veterans, those reasons might not be connected to their service – but they deserve a second chance and deserve our support. The Royal British Legion Industries [of which the Tommy Club is an arm] do some great work in getting veterans off the street and getting them on that ladder to get back [into] society.
