They say this is the best way to help those who beg, as it shows there are support services available. It’s a joint campaign with South Yorkshire Police, and a number of local charities such as The Cathedral Archer Project, and Turning Point, which work to end homelessness. Sheffield Live spoke to Chief Executive of the Cathedral Archer Project, Tim Renshaw.
