The Rural Homelessness Podcast, hosted by Matt McChlery, aims to raise awareness about rural homelessness in the UK. In the first episode, Matt interviews Keith Smith, the director of The Ferry Project, a homelessness charity based in Wisbech. Keith explains that the podcast was started to challenge the misconception that homelessness is only an urban problem and to highlight the prevalence of rural homelessness. The Ferry Project provides accommodation and support to homeless individuals, with a focus on creating a family-like environment. Over the past 25 years, they have supported over 3,500 people and have become the primary homeless provider for Fenland District Council. They also offer preventative services, employment support, and operate a community centre. The podcast will continue to explore various themes related to rural homelessness.
