"Some find places on the cliffs – we know some people sleep on the cliffs," she added.Ms Mustoe said Artspace was working with North Norfolk District Council to let people know what services were available."For example, where to get a hot drink, a meal, where you can wash your clothes," she added.Jack Maclean/BBCMs Mustoe says people have been known to sleep on the cliffsMs Mustoe said the exhibition aimed to "tell the proper story of people who find themselves homeless - all races, ages, sexes"."There's examples of someone whose business failed: they were doing really nicely but found themselves on a downward slope and ended up on the streets."Also, ex-servicemen who were left with a lot to process and might have slipped through the net."A number of people living in hostels and temporary accommodation had been invited to a special session at the gallery."They can tell us what they would like to do creatively - such as painting, writing, and so on."For example, Herring House in Yarmouth has produced an anthology about the lived experience of homeless people."The more we can hear about experiences of people on the street the more we can see them as.... our brothers and sisters," Ms Mustoe said.Follow Norfolk news on BBC Sounds, Facebook, Instagram and X.More on this storyHomeless art show aims to 'stop stigma'Cost of homeless housing puts council under strainHomelessness display features car artist lived inHomelessnessPhotographyCromerArt
