A new exhibition which aims to raise awareness about homelessness and rough sleeping has opened in Sheffield.
The project is a collaboration between charity The Archer Project and marketing and design agency Black Eye Project.As part of the exhibition, Sheffield people who had experienced homelessness were invited to revisit and photograph the places they used to rough sleep in. Tim Renshaw, chief executive at The Archer Project said he hoped "Wish You Were Here!" would help break down stereotypes and encourage contemplation and dialogue about homelessness."Instead of thinking 'what on earth are you doing there?' we should instead ask 'what on earth happened to you?'"Mr Renshaw said many of the stories featured trauma, mental health struggles, substance abuse and "a sense of shame".
