Episode 031: Mark Simms

Homelessness is up 14% this last year alone, with more than 300,000 homeless people according to latest figures.

But, can we really end homelessness?

This charity boss believes so, and says it's a political choice not to.

P3 is a charity than improves the lives and communities of tens of thousands of people a year, by delivering services to support people facing social exclusion.

Recently awarded an OBE, CEO Mark Simms joins us to talk about his career dedicated to helping people going through tough times. Mark's family was made homeless when he was a teenager, and we talk about how this has impacted his life and work.

A surprisingly light conversation for such a topic, this is the last episode of series 2.
