Homelessness charity St Mungo’s has responded after concerning allegations were aired on bedsheets outside its hostel in Speedwell. Complaints relating to the Longhills building included claims that "managers don't care" and there is "no support to move on".
Allegations were written on sheets and pieces of cardboard and hung last week on the hedgerows outside the hostel, on full display for people passing by along the busy Whitefield Road. There were also allegations about crime including drug use.
The charity said it could not comment on individual client cases due to confidentiality but it had become aware of the signs. A spokesperson said the allegations were investigated and “there had been no complaints made in relation to them”.
