This time of year can be tough for some people... really tough - we've probably all had a sh*tty Christmas at least once. But being homeless over the festive season must just be the worst. My amazingly generous and talented friend James has put together this exhibition featuring some crazy good artists to raise money & awareness for Crisis - the charity for single homeless people.
He says, "with the festive season approaching and temperatures dropping, it's important to remember those who have nothing. I wanted to use my work and the work of friends to put on a show and raise some money so that even the tiniest difference can be made, and Crisis can keep helping those who are so often ignored."
The exhibition runs from the 11th December until the 14th, at Hackney Downs Studios in London.
If you can't make it to the big smoke, you can still support this amazing cause by donating a little bit of money online. If you can afford to spare £21.62 you can reserve a place at Crisis for a homeless person. They'll get 3 hot meals (including Christmas dinner!) a shower, change of clothes & healthcheck, and a whole bunch of support.
Worth every penny.

this is awesome, I say literally every day how can homelessness be such a huge issue in 2014 but it is and everyone deserves the right to shelter and food regardless of their situation. I will definitely be donating a place x
