Today after nearly 4 years at @ISPHERE_HWU @HeriotWattUni researching street begging I submitted my revised PhD thesis. It was a privilege to be able to do it and contribute something to the field. But I couldn't have done it without the support of the people around me. Thank you

Thanks for inviting to speak at this today. I really enjoyed hearing from experts in the area and hopefully being able to pass on some of the knowledge I've gained from my research

If you work or volunteer in the homelessness sector in England and Wales please spare 15 minutes to complete this survey. This will help us understand how 'anti-social behaviour' tools and powers impact street sleeping homeless people. LINK: bit.ly/3heJASj *PLEASE RT*

Solidarity to everyone on strike. Current working conditions at universities are wrong and stop early career academics like me wanting to enter the industry. I appreciate the hit that strikers are taking for our futures #UCUstrikes #UCUstrikesback

So much tragedy. So much life lost. But the continued adherence to the language of ‘drug related’ distracts and plays a part in maintaining that tragedy. I can’t find a single mention of trauma, poverty, inequality or childhood adversity anywhere here. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-5…

More than half of homeless deaths are drug-related

There were 256 people who died while homeless in Scotland in 2020, an increase of 40 on the previous year.
