As Colm from Mug Print says “Reading about the death of ordinary people living on the streets of Belfast has hit home to many of us.
"How can this be allowed to happen in this day and age?
“We want to try and do a little to help with this problem not just in Newry but in other areas too. The people of Newry are the most giving I know. I think we stand out from other places and we have proved it in more ways than one. So together we will do our bit. Put a smile back in someone's face who is less fortunate than ourselves. Let them know that some people still care and the people who do are from Newry.”
Newry Helping The Homeless was formed to highlight the plight of the homeless, not just in our city of Newry but on the island of Ireland as a whole.
