Around 135,000 children in Britain are homeless, living in temporary accommodation, according to a report launched by Shelter – which is the highest number in 12 years. For the first time, the charity has exposed the frequency with which children are becoming homeless, as its Generation Homeless report reveals a child loses their home every eight minutes. This is the equivalent of 183 children per day, enough to fill 2.5 double decker buses.
