Birmingham mobile shower van helps city’s homeless

A group of Birmingham friends have built a mobile shower van to help homeless people in the city.

Ewen Kinnear, Bruce Loudon, Don Russell and Paul Taylor lead a team of volunteers who provide the service in the grounds of Birmingham Cathedral on Tuesday mornings.

They are part of the ShowerBox charity, which was created in London by Sarah Lamptey in 2018.

The Birmingham team also hand out toiletries and underwear to people in need.
