And she had to stick this chair under the door.

And Diane's practically asleep by then.

Well, of course, I'm no expert on homelessness as such or that, but something's going on.

25% of people who are homeless have got a background in care.

I teach creative writing in a prison.

25%, roughly the same proportion of adult men have got a background in care.

So although social workers and others do incredible jobs, something is going on.

And a report came out some time ago of what could be changed.

And it said what is needed is not just systems, but relationships.

Relationships.

So more and more now, local authorities are trying to put kids in care.

There's something called supported lodgings where a child will perhaps live with a family or organizations such as Safe Families or Home for Good with fostering.

The truth is, it's relationships.

We all need relationships.

We need that more than breath almost.

So if we can give that, that changes everything.
