As winter approaches, we are experiencing a significant rise in demand for our services. This year has been particularly challenging, with a 46% increase in demand from April to June compared to the same period last year. We expect this winter to be even more difficult due to the rising cost of living and the lack of affordable housing, leading to a growing number of new referrals each day.
We urgently need your support to help our community this winter, especially those who are homeless and vulnerable. Your contributions will make a real difference during the Christmas season and throughout the winter months, enabling us to:
- Provide a proper Christmas meal and a meaningful gift (such as a pair of shoes or a warm coat) to all those in need.
- Source essential food and toiletries for the homeless to cover the festive period, and provide a Greggs card for a hot drink when services are closed.
- Reconnect individuals with their families by covering public transport costs and providing a gift for their family gathering over Christmas.
- Sustain our Case Work services to continue offering crucial crisis support.
Your generosity will have a profound impact on our charity and those we serve during this challenging time. Thank you for helping us support our community.
