God bless Birmingham.
In the 20 minutes we filmed Ryan on this bench passers-by gave him a hot drink, two chocolate bars and a lighter – without him ever asking for anything.”

Barrie Hodge, head of fundraising and communications at Birmingham-based St Basil’s which works with young people to enable them to find and keep a home.

It’s great to see an internationally recognised artist highlight homelessness and rough sleeping. Unfortunately it’s becoming an all too common a sight in the city. I think all Brummies would like to see an end of rough sleeping and homelessness, which is often hidden, and at St Basils we’re working towards ending youth homelessness in the region.”
