Christmas can be a lonely time for people affected by homelessness and our Christmas Meal Campaign 2021 provides a hot meal or gift to somebody with a history of homelessness at a time when they can feel alone.

Many of our service users have experienced Christmas sleeping rough - often feeling like outsiders at a time when they see loved ones Christmas shopping and wishing they could experience the same.
Jason said; "Last Christmas I was living in my friends van, drinking to excess to keep myself warm. I was working occasional cash in hand jobs where I could to try to get money for my childrens Christmas presents -while neglecting my own needs like having food. I would wash in local streams or wherever I could to try and make myself presentable for when I did see my Children."
"Christmas is the season of giving but it felt like there was nothing left for me. I felt like a burden to my family. It was really hard watching other people go home to their families while I went back to the van."
"This will be my first Christmas with SSJ; I'm really looking forward to helping make the Christmas dinner as originally, I was a chef by trade. I have a roof over my head and a warm room."
