TheTeapot Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 (edited) Manx Radio are incredible. Look at this headline Quote Hundreds of Manx residents use Graih's homeless shelter but read the article and discover actually, it's 59. I'll post the whole article because it'll probably get changed. It is very poor. Quote Charity reveals extent of homelessness on the Island More than 500 people have used a night time homeless shelter, piloted by a Manx charity over the last 12 months. Graih's trial scheme aimed to uncover the extent of homelessness on the Isle of Man - it came to a close at the end of last month. The facility was opened by volunteers all night every night, from January 2019 for a year - offering emergency shelter to anyone who needed it over the age of 18. Over the last 12 months 534 bed spaces were taken up, to 59 different people. The youngest was 18-years-old, spanning to the oldest guest who was 88. Other findings from the charity show that more than three-quarters were male, and the majority were Manx residents. Graih is now seeking funding of £250,000 per year, "to cover both the shelter and [its] existing day-time work." https://www.manxradio.com/news/isle-of-man-news/hundreds-of-manx-residents-use-graihs-homeless-shelter/ Compare it to 3fm https://www.three.fm/news/isle-of-man-news/charity-provides-534-beds-for-homeless/ Edited February 10, 2020 by TheTeapot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTeapot Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 (edited) I wasn't really commenting on the homelessness issue, that's for a different thread really, more just about how rubbish that reporting is.

Think I'd move over and become homeless . I agree there should be an emergency shelter, but what about folks in Ramsey or Castletown? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
