ABOUT

Displayed around London, every Blue Plaque tells a story. A narrative which has been embraced by homelessness charity, All People All Places, which has utilised the eponymous blue plaques usually used to commemorate famous people to tell the untold stories of homeless people.

The campaign, created by Cogent, sees the Blue Plaques appear in rough sleeping spots across North London to celebrate people who have overcome homelessness with the help of the charity.

Each plaque tells the story of a homeless person, who via the support of All People All Places managed to overcome their challenges. People such as Poppy; who had always worked in the UK but when Covid hit, her long-term health suffered and she wasn’t able to work and needed the safety net of Universal Credit.
