As Britain freezes so too do the thousands sleeping rough in towns and cities across the country, Whilst the majority of us worry about staying warm, for those on the streets the priority is staying alive in sub-zero temperatures.

Figures from the Department of Local Government reveal the problem is getting worse – an estimated 4,134 people now sleeping rough every night in England, the number more than doubling since 2010.
