We have had some great feedback from people in Leeds, Huddersfield and Bradford about the Blue Plaque campaign and how it has made them stop and think. But thanks to social media word has spread further than the reach of the plaques…
We received the below email recently
I originally come from Manchester but now live in London, I was homeless for over 20 years, I now have somewhere to live and I have been working voluntarily for the last 3 years. I work with the homeless at a drop in counselling service at Great Chapel St just round the corner from the So Centre.
So at the risk of using an American colloquialism let me cut to the chase here and say that your blue plaques are an inspiration I really appreciate the significance and deep meaning that doing something like this can have. I had people who died while sleeping next to me under old railway arches, some I knew some I did not. And I don’t to this day know whether or not anyone ever found out who they were. Thank you, you have really touched and moved me today. Keep up the worthwhile work and all the best.
