Dear friends,

We would like to thank you for all your support for the Street Seen initiative taken recently to collect sleeping bags and warm clothes for homeless persons. The initiative itself was helped in part also by the large media coverage we got from the newspapers - radio and television as so to publicise and cover it. Although Street Seen is only on its second issue its print is 10,000 copies. The publication affords space to those who may not find space afforded elsewhere for their stories, poetry etc as well as providing an avenue for more established writers to put out their message.

The ARN has featured in the first two issues, with this issue having the centre pages on the ARN recent rally. The monies raised have already been poured into various initiatives in relation to providing education, support, information and solidarity to Homeless persons. Therefore the 'Street Seen Network' {Northern Irelands own Homeless Newspaper} has already established many links around the North and the South with also interest abroad. So if you see it in towns and cities pick it up as it is a worthy read for a worthy cause.

This recent initiative was very successful and the sleeping bags etc are been distributed to those most in need. So once again thank you for all you support with a personal thank you to the Northern Ireland Anti Poverty Network for their additional help.
