The event will take place from December 23-25 in cities including London, Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Aberdeen. Participants will receive meals, gifts, and essential items such as thermal clothing and power banks.

challenges. By providing meals and essential items, Social Bite not only meets immediate needs but also fosters a sense of community and support among participants. The initiative underscores the importance of compassion and empathy in addressing social issues, offering a lifeline to those affected by homelessness. The rising demand for such services reflects broader societal challenges, including economic inequality and housing shortages.
