Our latest awareness raising campaign is a series of ‘Blue Plaques’ placed around Leeds, Bradford and Huddersfield. The English Heritage Blue Plaques remember noteworthy individuals and often mark places where they lived. Our plaques do the same for people who have slept rough.
If you see any of our Plaques email or Tweet a picture of yourself with the plaque and we will get it up on the website… there might even be a prize for the first person photographed at every site in an area!
If you are going to look out for our plaques be aware that rather than the usual eye level placement ours are down at street level to signify where people would be lying when using each location to sleep. There are several plaques for you to find in each location; below is a shot of one from each area to give you a taster.
We believe we should commemorate not only those who have achieved fame in our society but everyone. We also think those who are so often forgotten in life should be remembered in death… especially when you consider the terrible statistic that people who are homeless have a life expectancy of just 48 years.
