Article 25 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights reads “Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services.” A new mural in Lower North Street aims to raise awareness of homelessness and encourage resource investment and policy development. The mural was developed by Leonard Cheshire’s Can Do Project (web), Westcourt Centre (web), and Blaze FX graffiti company (Fb), with residents from Rose Mount House (Fb) and young people from Belfast Met.
