we do a lot of work for Look Ahead Housing and Care a charity who house and also provide help for people with mental illness. The key issue I have found is that if you're gonna start a scheme or campaign/project to raise money it must gain momentum and have a regular source of steady cash. The live8 concerts were great, but you'd need at least one a month of those gigs to regularly maintain a stream of money to do any real help. The national lottery is quite good with getting a steady cash flow but other charities don't have this steady injection of cash. the government in Sweden has the right attitude towards their homeless and prioritise it where here in the UK, it's up to the various charities to pick up the slack.
