7. Make it regular:

Whatever you do, don't just do it once or once a year. Homeless people are sleeping rough every night and organisations such as mine providing help 365 days a year too. Whatever you do, do it again and make a habit out of it. There are no acts of kindness too small to make a difference.

Andrew Faris is the Founder and CEO of Rhythms of Life, and a former rough sleeper. Rhythms of Life is an entirely volunteer-led homelessness charity in London, which provides food, warm clothing and dignity to rough sleepers every night of the year.
