TV star is moved by the plight of homeless families

ALISON JOINS FORCES WITH SHELTER

- BY MARK JEFFERIES News Reporter

BRUMMIE TV star Alison Hammond was moved to tears after learning about the harsh realities faced by homeless families living in temporary accommodation during the festive period.

The star has joined forces with housing charity Shelter for their latest winter appeal, meeting Alicia, a 39-year-old single mother currently residing in temporary accommodation with her six-year-old son, Aeon.

During an emotional face-to-face discussion for the campaign, Alicia told Alison, 50, that she and Aeon have experienced homelessness for almost six years effectively his entire childhood.

She said they've been relocated from one temporary residence to another, continuously fighting mould, dampness, and the instability of not knowing their next destination.
