Preston, Lancashire. 1st March 2019. UK Weather. John, suffering from depression ended up on the streets after the loss of his wife. Cold, damp inclement day in the town centre as Preston’s homeless people hope for donations on the city centre streets. Trapped in the social system by having no fixed abode, they are unable to claim Universal Credit and resort to begging to hopefully acquire cash from passing shoppers, enough for a overnight hostel.
