About the Margins Project:
In October 1995 the Margins Project was set up to help with London’s homelessness crisis. From that beginning 13 years ago, the Project's emphasis was on social support and providing facilities to meet basic human needs. The project provides services and facilities for those people finding themselves living on the streets and in crisis.

Marginalised is presented by Union Chapel, produced by Arctic Circle.

You can hear Arctic Circle's shows "The Hut" and "The Circle" on Chill every Tuesday from 10pm, and every Friday night from midnight. They are also available as free downloads from http://www.jointhecircle.net/radio
