TWO homeless men have sent out a “cry for help” having spent the past six months living in a tent in Farnham.

Kyran Beale, aged 22, and David Hawkins, 25, have “tried everything” and are now “getting to the last straw”.

They said they are “not there to cause problems”, but just want to “get off the streets”.

Both have been in and out of homelessness for around seven years, ending up most recently in Farnham after being evicted, they say unfairly, from a private rental in Milton Keynes in February.

Kyran said they were given “no notice” and that Milton Keynes Council “told the landlord to give the keys back”, but they “never heard back”.

The council had not responded to the Herald’s request for a comment as the paper went to print.

Although neither are currently working, Kyran previously worked as a warehouse operative at Marks & Spencer, while David worked as a bus cleaner at Stagecoach and then also at M&S.

They are now stuck in a “vicious circle” which they “can’t get out of”, but said: “Once we’ve got a room we will get jobs, that will change very quickly.”

As Kyran and David grew up in the Surrey Heath district, they have “no local connection to Waverley”. They have, however, been in touch with Surrey Heath Borough Council, which they said has offered the Rent Choice Scheme – a scheme Surrey Heath provide “to help people secure accommodation in the private rented sector”, according to a council spokesperson.

The spokesperson added: “People accepted onto the scheme will be provided with a provisional offer of financial assistance to help them cover the Rent in Advance and Deposit Bond usually required to secure a property.”

But, Kyran and David said they are “trying to find a landlord who will accept that”.

A Waverley Borough Council spokesperson confirmed Waverley has “three bed spaces in a night shelter with access to a day centre and one-to-one support for those who are street homeless and willing to engage”.

Area manager for Surrey South at charity Transform Housing & Support, Viccy Johnson said they are “aware there has been an increase in homelessness nationally” and would recommend the “first point of call for anyone in the Farnham area facing or experiencing homelessness is to contact Waverley Borough Council”.

Then, “where appropriate”, people will be referred to organisations such as Transform.

n Kyran and David are appealing to landlords, people with a spare room or those offering jobs to get in touch with the Herald.
