An 8’x 6’ pod, with bed, toilet, and USB socket, is being touted as a potential lifesaver for a homeless person.
Stuart Johnson, from Llanwern, South Wales, is keen to find more churches prepared to donate a car-parking space on which to locate one of his creations. He suggests they are used as temporary accommodation for someone who is due to be rehoused.
‘I can’t believe no one has come up with this solution before,’ said Stuart, who is delighted that two churches have already ordered pods. ‘They are not the final answer, but while someone is waiting for permanent accommodation they know they are safe from bullying or injury, or losing the few possessions they may have. They also give members of a church the opportunity to minister to them in a loving and caring manner.’
