More than 1,300 homeless people died across the UK last year, according to research by a social justice group. The Museum of Homelessness reported the figure of 1,313 in 2022 was an increase of 85 per cent compared to when it began its work four years ago.
The group has been operating the Dying Homeless Project since 2019 and uses information from coroners' inquiries, media coverage, family testimony, and freedom of information requests to clarify details of each case.
It said the aim of the project is to honour and remember the people "who would so often be forgotten". According to the group's research, deaths in England rose 22 per cent on 2021 to 875 in 2022 while in Wales it rose by 27 per cent to 76.
