The hidden homeless...
In the picture above you can see Anne in a small area of woodland just outside Reading town centre, a stonesthrow from where many of you might live or shop. Here, astonishingly, six or seven people have set up home under canvas as they have no where else to live.
On Monday you can hear Anne share the tales of what she has seen, and Julie's story. Julie is from Reading and after problems with alcohol caused her to fight with her family she found herself on the streets with just the clothes she was standing in. Julie tells Anne about the low times she faced and the heartwarming kindness of complete strangers.
Anne Diamond meets Berkshire's hidden homeless, starting Monday 21st November from Midday.
Hi! I’m Anne Diamond and on weekday mornings you can find me on BBC Radio Berkshire (10 - 1). Even if you don’t live in and around Berkshire, and you know me from my TV and writing, you can always read what I’m doing here or listen online. Welcome!
