A NEW exhibition exploring the causes of homelessness for people in North Yorkshire is now open at The Workhouse Museum in Ripon.

The exhibition, Homeless Not Faceless, features the stories and photographs of 12 people, who have given their own accounts of being homeless.

It has been created by the Harrogate Homeless Project and Ripon YMCA, who have given their support to the clients featured in the exhibition.

A photographer took portrait images of the clients, or at their request, their shoes or hands and these images and stories are displayed alongside an object to represent one of the reasons for their homelessness. The exhibition is open until July 22.
