Alan Carr's 'Life's a Beach'
S10 EP19: David Morrisey

And, you know, sort of looking at the... It goes back to tiptoe, doesn't it?

Alan Carr's 'Life's a Beach'
S10 EP19: David Morrisey

Yeah, and being fed this lies, you know, and sort of it is sort of baiting and sort of, you know, it's sort of this getting people to sort of believe the worst of other people in order to attack them and sort of then create power back in for you, you know.

Alan Carr's 'Life's a Beach'
S10 EP19: David Morrisey

I'm just trying to find some so many so many so many stories that you hear of people who have got to safety what they've done how they've you know rescued their families what they've been through that has been amazing you know I was in Egypt and sort of the stories of how people are sort of surviving refugee they're taking people in there you know and that those stories were amazing and then there you are with the pyramids in the in the background so yeah

Alan Carr's 'Life's a Beach'
S10 EP19: David Morrisey

Yeah, I mean, I think it's really important to step out of our world, our comfort world, and sort of see what people are going through in a very real sense.

Alan Carr's 'Life's a Beach'
S10 EP19: David Morrisey

I mean, the other two charities I work for is I work for Refuge, which is a domestic abuse charity, you know, sort of violence against women and girls.

Alan Carr's 'Life's a Beach'
S10 EP19: David Morrisey

here in the UK and what they're doing, they're building these safe houses.

Alan Carr's 'Life's a Beach'
S10 EP19: David Morrisey

What you forget is that if you're, particularly after COVID, being in a confined space with people we love was bad enough.

Alan Carr's 'Life's a Beach'
S10 EP19: David Morrisey

Imagine being in a confined space with your abuser.

Alan Carr's 'Life's a Beach'
S10 EP19: David Morrisey

suddenly that was ratcheted up and safe spaces for women to escape to.

Alan Carr's 'Life's a Beach'
S10 EP19: David Morrisey

But if you've got a pet or you've got a teenage son, then you can't really get away.

Alan Carr's 'Life's a Beach'
S10 EP19: David Morrisey

So it's creating domestic spaces for them, safe refuges for people who don't have a ready means to escape.

Alan Carr's 'Life's a Beach'
S10 EP19: David Morrisey

They've got to find different ways to escape.

Alan Carr's 'Life's a Beach'
S10 EP19: David Morrisey

And they're a wonderful charity.

Alan Carr's 'Life's a Beach'
S10 EP19: David Morrisey

And the Felix Project is a food delivery project that I work for who take food from supermarkets and restaurants that are going to be binned and not used.

Alan Carr's 'Life's a Beach'
S10 EP19: David Morrisey

And they use that to provide meals for people.

Alan Carr's 'Life's a Beach'
S10 EP19: David Morrisey

So that's a very simple but sort of difficult thing to organize, which is basically saying to people, you give us your food that you're not going to use and we'll use it.

Alan Carr's 'Life's a Beach'
S10 EP19: David Morrisey

But that's a very time-sensitive thing.

Alan Carr's 'Life's a Beach'
S10 EP19: David Morrisey

So what's interesting about the world crisis at the moment is a lot of what they do is they'll freeze food.

Alan Carr's 'Life's a Beach'
S10 EP19: David Morrisey

But because of the cost of electricity is going through the roof, their costs are going, they're mad now.

Alan Carr's 'Life's a Beach'
S10 EP19: David Morrisey

So in the last six months or whatever, their costs have gone through the roof, yeah.
