No Country For Young Women - Begging, benefits and Solomon Smith

Download Begging, benefits and Solomon Smith

"Literally, the day I started… it’s never been the same."

We take a trip to the Brixton Soup Kitchen to meet some sofa surfers, rough sleepers and its founder Solomon Smith. He talks feeding the homeless with rice and peas, failing at school and making his dreams come true, and why we’re all only two pay cheques away from being homeless.
