Whilst some things will be different this year, volunteers will still be at the heart of what we do at Christmas.

If you are volunteering this year, your unique contribution to Crisis can support us even further by getting your friends, family, or your company to sponsor you.

If you're not able to volunteer as you normally would this year, you can still help by raising vital funds or sponsoring other volunteers.

Last year sponsored volunteers raised over £200,000 for our work at Christmas and our year-round services, helping many more people to leave homelessness behind.

With many less volunteers this year, your support will be more valued than ever.

It will also help support out year-round work across Great Britain, helping provide housing, employment, education and wellbeing services; ensuring more people move out of homelessness.
