Clive Sandle,
Director of Simon on the Streets says:
“The dissemination of research around rough-sleeping and related issues is critical
because without the kind of insight that the research brings we are only left with policy decisions and implementation to gauge what is happening, why it is happening and how best to overcome the problems… we rely heavily on others to support our work and
partnerships with organizations like Emerald are crucial for us to keep on supporting some of society’s most vulnerable people.”
Zoe Sanders, New Launch Publisher at Emerald and Chair of the Charity Committee says:
“We are delighted to support Simon on the Streets and we are pleased to be able to make this content available as part of this support and that our publishing activities
can be utilized in this positive way.”
