Thinking Out Loud singer Ed Sheeran has lent his support to Crisis's No One Turned Away campaign by signing a petition, which calls on the UK government to revise its policy on helping single homeless people.

Sheeran, who recently visited Crisis's Newcastle centre, said 'When I volunteered at Crisis I met people who'd been forced to sleep on the streets. Homelessness is a horrifying experience and no one should have to go through it. That's why I've signed the Crisis No One Turned Away petition. Right now, the system is failing homeless people. We need to demand change so that every homeless person can get the help they need'.
