This London Station Will Become A Homeless Shelter On Christmas Day

The bustling commute beehive that is Euston station in London is going to be transformed into a homeless shelter filled with festive fun this Christmas Day.

Here's what Courtney Act has to say about open relationships...

As the London tube service comes to a halt on the 25th December, 200 people who’ve been categorised as homeless by homeless charities St Mungo’s and Streets Kitchen will all be invited into the station to eat Christmas dinner, celebrate together, and sleep out of the cold.

According to Network Rail representatives, there’s been lots of enthusiasm from staff about volunteering to help St Mungo’s and Streets Kitchen host their guests on Christmas Day, and around 30 of them will be volunteering alongside the charities on the day.

Christmas can be a very hard time of year for people who are sleeping rough. Firstly, it’s SO cold out on the streets, especially sitting still on a cold pavement, and secondly, Christmas can get very lonely if you spend it alone. Especially if you’ve been made homeless because of relationship breakdowns.

Sometimes we can all get so wrapped up in the festivities around Xmas time that we stop thinking about the people who don't have the money to buy a Christmas tree, or sit inside a warm home and watch a Christmas movie. People who are sleeping on the streets outside in the cold not only suffer physically, but mentally too, as they don't always have the support they need.

That's why we're SO glad that on Christmas Day, the homeless people invited into Euston station will be warm, well fed, and surrounded by people to talk to.

We just hope this kind of thing happens more often, for more people, in the future, and that this will raise awareness about the amount of people sleeping rough who need our help.

If you'd like to find out more about homelessness and donate to help get people off the streets, check out the St Mungo’s, Centrepoint, and Crisis sites.
