The ad is part of a wider TV campaign including ‘In from the cold’, which also focuses on homelessness in frozen conditions. It features people of different ages, showing it isn’t just the young who are affected. The work is supported by digital and social media executions, as well as offline press ads and supporter communications. Robert Glenister’s voiceover across the ads brings warmth along with recognisable festive music, performed by The Salvation Army band. ## Advertisement [⌊Posthub advert. You create the campaign.
