Savethefamily.uk.com asks the world 'why make a family homeless?' Of course, we have a natural yearning as a family unit to stay together. Savethefamily are the largest Homeless Family charity in the UK. They keep homeless families together and work to address each individual compounded problem, in a practical, needs-led, holistic way. On Monday the 6th of April Savethefamily showed the world the human cost of the recession. In hosting Sky News they opened our eyes to the part everybody would like to forget. They remind us that local and national government deal with individuals - there is no family approach that deals with things holistically.
