Books For The Homeless with Alex and Martha We Can Change The World

Presenter Isy Suttie talks to Oxford University students Alex and Martha, who turned their love of literature into a charity where books are donated to homeless people.
Alex and Martha were shocked at the contrast of university life compared to those sleeping rough in the city and wanted to do something to help.
