facts for the end of the film

We have decided to include some facts about homelessness at the end of our film, as we are claiming that it has been sponsored by The Salvation Army, we are also going to show the logo at the end of the film. I have been doing some research into homelessness, looking for facts and figures we can show at the end of our film, here are some that I have found;

- homeless people are 35 times more likely to commit suicide and four times more likely to die from unnatural causes.
-The average life expectancy for those living on the streets of London is 42 years - compared with 76 years for the general population.
-464 people sleep rough on the streets of England on any single night
-
Between 36,000 to 52,000 young people are estimated to have been ‘found homeless’ by local authorities in England in 2003
-The UK has one of the highest levels of homelessness in Europe with more than 4 people per 1,000 estimated to be homeless.
