1. Rob calls for more education on homelessnesspublished at 20:36 Greenwich Mean Time 19 January 2018

    We filmed with Rob last week.

    He says many members of the public feel that "homeless people are there by their own doing".

    "There's not enough education," he tells us.

    Jonathan has bumped into Rob again tonight. It was his birthday on Wednesday.

    "I was sat in the rain in my camp trying to keep dry," he says.

    One man in high-viz jacket wanders off into the night. "Thank you, have a lovely evening," he says.

    It’s a peculiar mix just yards from a pub with people drinking and enjoying themselves in a warm environment.

    It’s about 4 degrees out and I’m shivering already.

  3. How Rob became homeless in Bristolpublished at 20:22 Greenwich Mean Time 19 January 2018

    More from the people we've been speaking to over the past week.

    Rob says he had a breakdown before going off work sick.

    "They decided nothing was wrong with me. They said 'go and get a job', and it's not that easy."

    He says he got into problems with his rent before deciding he "couldn't fight them any more".

    We’re off. More than 10 people waiting for food here.

    The first lot is rice pudding or a soup. “I’ll be disappointed if it’s not rice pudding,” says one man.

    “God bless you” says another.

  5. Benefits problem has left Ruby homelesspublished at 20:09 Greenwich Mean Time 19 January 2018

    More from some of the people we've met over the past week.

    Ruby says she has become homeless because of problems with her benefits.

    "I've had loads of trouble with my benefits so my rent stopped, so I can't bid [for a home], so now I'm stuck."

  6. Walk to happen - but only justpublished at 20:02 Greenwich Mean Time 19 January 2018

    The walk was in real danger of being cancelled tonight.

    There have been several no shows from people who had committed to turning up. Naseem says six are needed to walk safely around Broadmead.

    There are now five people and the decision has been taken to go ahead anyway.

    One of the volunteers says “after Christmas people don’t want to get involved”.

    A lot of surplus food will be given to the hostel on Jamaica Street instead of being given to people on the streets.

    There’s a small crowd gathering outside the Quaker building. We set off shortly.

  9. 'It makes you much more open minded'published at 19:41 Greenwich Mean Time 19 January 2018

    Rachel Green is from Bristol. She speaks to me as she fills up eight flasks of tea.

    “I’ve been doing it for two months," she says. "I keep coming back because I can. People need this don’t they? Doing this you get an understanding of what people are going through.

    "It makes you much more open minded. Generally almost people think this is a good thing but some of my friends keep their preformed ideas about the homeless”

    Rebecca Staniforth from Bristol is the first volunteer to arrive. It’s her first time volunteering.

    She says: “I have volunteered in London but wanted to do it locally. This charity caught my eye because it’s direct involvement on street level.

    "I’m interested to see how many people we see out there because it seems that rough sleeping has shot up over the past year or two."

    I’ve come back to the Bristol Central Quaker Meeting House, tucked behind the Cabot Circus shopping centre.

    In just under an hour there will be a few dozen homeless people waiting outside here for the first batch of food.

    Naseem the organiser is having a meeting with another member in the group.

    There’s a lot to discuss - volunteer retention, social gatherings for the people who help out, and even if they can get a permanent shed here to store their supplies.
