Bosu Body Bar is a restaurant in Manchester that have started leaving bags of free food outside at closing time for homeless people to eat.

Staff are also encouraging customers to donate warm clothes to go with the food.

On their Facebook page the restaurant has posted, "If you see anyone on the streets of Manchester or Didsbury who look hungry, let them know where they can find a meal in a bag."

Thousands of people have praised the shop. One person wrote, "What a lovely thing to do. We need more people like that in the world."

What do you see in the picture
What do you think is in the bags?
Why do you think the bags are on the street, what time of day is it? Who are the bags for?

Explain the story

-Why has Bosu Body Bar chosen to leave bags of food for people who are homeless?
- Why do they bags say, "share" and "eat me"?
- What reasons might a person have for being homeless?
- Are there people of different faith who are homeless? Different skin colour? Different gender?
- The restaurant could write on the bags, "For Christian homeless people only" or "For Jewish homeless people only" or "For black homeless people only"; why don't the bags say that?
- What does this show about the staff at Bosu Body Bar?
- Thousands of people have praised the restaurant and customers are donating clothes; what does this show us about people in the UK today?
- What can we learn from this restaurant?
- Why is this story about No Outsiders?
