Preston, Lancashire. 1st March 2019. UK Weather. Cold, damp inclement day for Gary 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.
