Recognition for Barclays and Housing Matters' 'sofa surfing' awareness day

Friday, 05 January 2018 16:36

The Mayor held a reception for representatives from Barclays and Manx charity Housing Matters in recognition of their 'sofa-surfing' awareness day last October.

 

Her Worship lent her support for the campaign by joining volunteers from the charity and the bank on a sofa in Granville Street, one of three locations in the town centre chosen to highlight the plight of the island's hidden homeless, many of whom are young adults forced to sleep on friends' couches.
