Help Stop The Light Going Out This Christmas

We have a new campaign running to prevent homelessness over the cold winter months, and we need your help!

We’re asking all our amazing supporters to donate just £10 and nominate 10 family members or friends to do the same. You will be helping someone in need, and you will be sharing the gift of giving with your friends and family. Lovely!

Please donate £10 through our GlobalGiving project page on Preventing Homelessness and ask your 10 nominees to do the same. Then ask them to nominate 10, and so it continues...

We always see a spike in homelessness over the winter months. At a time of year when street sleeping is life threatening.

RD, a homeless veteran supported by the charity says, “I don’t think I could have done this on my own, I wouldn’t even know where to start… I know I’m going to be happy here [in my new home] and can’t thank you enough for all you have done.”

We know we are effective in the work we are doing, but we need your help to support even more like RD. Just £10 can provide a hot nutritious meal to a veteran on the brink of homelessness and can make all the difference.

Please watch our new short film on preventing homelessness, a case study showing some of the amazing outcomes your donations will contribute to (link below)

Thank you so much for your ongoing support, we truly appreciate it. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and joyous New Year!
