Homelessness in Chichester is on rise according to homeless charity the Four Streets Project.

Volunteers for the Four Streets Project have recorded the number of homeless people they fed per night from March 1 through to May 30. The figures reveal the lowest number of homeless people fed in either North, South, East and West Street was four on March, in contrast with 19 people on May 18.

Founder of the Four Streets Project, Donna Ockenden, blamed the increase on the apparent failure of a number of support networks for people.

Donna Ockenden said: "We never miss a night. We are a 365-days-a-year service and we believe in a service based on dignity, respect and compassion.
