MODEL A

American journalist P. J. O’Rourke once said, “You can’t get rid of poverty by giving money.” Perhaps not, but what about the homeless? Should we give money to them or not?

In my view, there are more effective ways of helping the homeless. To start with, there is no way of knowing what the money will be used for. For example, many homeless people spend the money they get on alcohol. Secondly, it would be much better to donate money to charities that help the homeless. This is because such organisations have experience in finding accommodation for the homeless.

On the other hand, some people believe we should give money straight to the homeless. They argue that money given to charity does not reach the homeless. It is spent instead on expenses such as renting offices and hiring staff. Furthermore, if people stop giving money, they worry the homeless will turn to crime. After all, they may not even fear prison much.

However, it is easy these days to find out which charities really help and which do not, as live information is available online. Moreover, being homeless does not automatically turn people into criminals.

To conclude, I do not believe we truly help the homeless by handing them money on the street. It seems to me that it is more responsible to give money to reputable homeless charities, where you can be sure it will reach live people truly in need. I strongly feel, though, that we should find a way to help.

Thousands of people will sleep rough on the streets of the UK tonight.
