Bristol's music scene is saving the lives of the homeless this winter
Every person sleeping rough in Bristol this winter could soon have their own life-saving thermal ‘sleep pod’ - thanks to an incredible project co-ordinated by the city’s music scene.
Top names from bands like Beak and Idles are among those who have pitched in to fund and develop a new invention called a Sleep Pod, which should stop anyone on the streets freezing as the winter chill descends.
Some 400 of the new inventions - which were developed as a result of a team of volunteers’ efforts to help refugees and migrants in the Calais ‘Jungle’ a few years ago - have been brought to Bristol.
And now they will be gradually distributed to the homeless in the city, and Bath and Weston-super-Mare, from this week and into the coming weeks and months
