the Pavement is the free magazine for London's homeless people. Each month, 3,000 pocket-sized magazines are distributed to day centres, shelters etc.

As well as investigating issues which are important to the homeless, the magazine also runs an up-to-date listing of basic support services (benefits and housing advice, and support for tenants and ex-Services personnel; where to get a haircut, bath or shower; clothing and laundry; food; outreach workers; etc), health services (alcohol and drug counselling; mental and sexual health advice; where to find a doctor, dentist or someone to look after your feet; etc), and education and personal development facilities. Plus, of course, brilliant cartoons.

The site lists the services available for homeless people in London (and the list is also available in Polish), and you can check out the links to services elsewhere in Britain. Download the Pavement magazine, and see what stories we've already covered.

the Pavement is a registered charity, run by volunteers. You can find out more about the magazine and its trustees.

We welcome comments from all readers, whether homeless or not, about issues you'd like to see covered in the Pavement. You can contact us, even if you don't have an email address, or you can write to the editors at the address below.
