Homelessness in the United Kingdom is on the rise. At the start of 2020 at least one out of every 200 people in England is living without permanent or safe accommodation. Homeless deaths have increased by 20% in England and Wales over the last year. There has been a significant response from communities, who have set up shelters and Streets Kitchens in public spaces across the UK. Sustained campaigning from Crisis resulted in the Homelessness Reduction Act coming into force in 2018. Despite this, 91% of local authorities in the UK did not respond to basic questions about homelessness when contacted.

To coincide with the new exhibition, Anthony Luvera: Taking Place, curated by Futurecity, in association with Museum of Homelessness, at The Gallery at Foyles, Anthony Luvera will be hosting Taking Place: A Performance by the Choir With No Name on Thursday 27th February, 2020 from 6:30pm – 7:00pm at The Gallery at Foyles in Foyles bookstore, London.
