Joseph Manley investigates homelessness in Durham, and those trying to tackle stigma and make new connections with people on the street. Palatinate spoke to Durham County Council, student volunteers, local supported accomodation, and street-connected people to find out more.
Students can put unwanted items in purple bags which will be delivered by student volunteers this month. Items wanted include clothes, shoes and non-perishable food.
The demonstration will take place at Palace Green on Saturday 14th May, between 12pm-3pm. Protestors are calling for the Derwentside Immigration Centre to close down immediately.
