Help Julian House Though These Challenging Times

Imagine living on the streets, already vulnerable and with little access to washing facilities and without a safe space to go. On top of this, hearing the threat of the Coronavirus and the need to keep clean and self-isolate, seems an almost impossible task for the many individuals we support.

While many of us are now slowly easing out of lockdown, its not that simple for people within our care. Many of whom are very vulnerable with prior health issues and mental health problems.

Since lockdown, with the Governments financial support, we have been able to help an additional 30 men and women off the streets into safe and supported accommodation. We have kept our hostel, supported accommodation and domestic abuse refuge open and have doubled our outreach sessions -meaning were out on the streets even more to ensure everyone has the support they need. Since having these extra accommodation sites, we have seen huge changes and an improvement in peoples mental health, a reduction in drug use and in some cases complete abstinence.

But the challenges are far from over and your support is needed more than ever to ensure people in our care are not forced to return to the street.

Every day we are working hard to care for these individuals, with regular checks from our support workers, mental and physical health care and daily cooking and delivery of meals and essential supplies.

Your donation can enable us to continue this care, help purchase essential extra supplies of food, towels, hand sanitiser and bulk cleaning products, undertake deep cleaning where necessary and continue hardship payments for those who have difficulties with their benefits.

With social distancing still in place its important that we are there to provide vital support during these lonely times. Your donation can also help to purchase phone credits so that we can help individuals to stay in touch our staff.

Donate today and help us continue the life changing work we have done so far, so that no one must return to the streets.
