At one time, at least tne of the parks in London had a cardboard city where the homeless had erected cardboard shelters - woe betide anyone who tried to use a shelter belonging to someone else. I think they've all now been cleared out, and at least some of the parks are locked at night. We see pictures of the homeless sleeping in shop doorways on main roads, presumably because it's safer to be in full view than tucked away in a park. Don't know what the attitude of the police is to them, not having lived in London for nearly 40 years.
Where do they proprose to wash? Presumably in public toilets - good luck to them - I wouldn't. They'll need good street maps to show the location of them. In Poole (and I think this is a case in a lot of towns), public toilets have been closed because of the filthy state they get in, drug abuse in them and vandalism. Larger stores have toilets for public use, but I don't think they'd be too happy to have vagrants using them to have a strip wash. Presumably they intend to eat more than just bread - I don't know how long it takes to develop scurvy if you don't get enough vitamin C. I'm sure there a lot of things that they haven't thought of.
