‘I went from having a mortgage to being homeless’

“It’s not just about somebody sitting on the streets or living in a tent,” Toni-Marie Murphy-Roberts, from The Whitechapel Centre said.

“This year we’re supporting around 5,000 people, and that number is increasing.

“People just genuinely cannot afford to have their own home and sustain it for long periods of time.

“Making sure that we are there 24/7 for these people who are facing such extreme vulnerability is really, really important to us.”

Among those involved in the song is music co-ordinator Jordan Francis who said the charity had helped him when he was in a “troubling time” when he first moved to Liverpool.

“They put me up in a hostel and worked with me. I grew up in care, so they were able to get hold of a social worker for me,” he said.

“It developed into a process where I got a flat deposit paid for me. That was four years ago now, and I’ve never looked back.”

Ms Kasek said her ambition is for the song to give a message of hope to people.

“If you’re a person who’s having that experience [of homelessness], you’re simply existing, you don’t feel like there’s any hope of a tomorrow,” she said.

“I’m showing people that is possible to turn everything around. You can change your life around and there is hope.”
