Kim Harper's Recent Activity

"Really great to hear about the work of the Marylebone project, thank you. It sounds as though the Marylebone project is really relevant to some of the other themes that we're going to be looking at throughout this campaign too. It would be great if you could post up a recent report about the project (perhaps an annual review?) so that we could find out a bit more about the project. Thank you, Kim"

"A great article out today by Vicki Helyar-Cardwell of the Criminal Justice Alliance on issues surrounding remand - including highlighting that "more than a quarter of women rough sleepers took an "unwanted sexual partner" in order to find shelter. A safe and secure place to live is the responsibility of the department for housing not the Ministry of Justice. Too often the criminal justice system becomes the dumping ground, warehousing people for short spaces of time only to turf them back out again, after a matter of days or even hours, into an equally perilous situation." Full article available here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/law/2012/aug/02/vulnerable-people-remand-prison We'll be exploring these issues in more detail in the Criminal Justice theme later in the campaign."

"This was a really great event - thank you Homeless Link for organising it. Really looking forward to continuing to work with everybody as the campaign progresses. Particularly enjoyed listening to Davina, one of our Expert Group, and Kate Green MP"
