Hi! Welcome to our JustGiving page. 2020 has been a crazy wild year, and lockdown sure doesn't get easier second time round.
This year has also been the year that homelessness has increased at the highest rate since 2011. Figures show that approximately 4,200 people were recorded as sleeping rough on the streets in London between March and June this year – an increase of 33% on the same period last year.
Due to the ongoing pandemic, Crisis at Christmas will not run in the usual way and instead, focus will be on making sure that all support will adhere to social distancing. Whilst this means that many of us will not be able to volunteer and socialise with guests, some of whom have become our friends over the years, it means that the most vulnerable guests have a safe place to stay and are fed over the Christmas period.
For the next 2 weeks until the end of lockdown 2.0, we will aim to complete 1 million steps between us, so although we won't be able to see each other in person, we can do something together virtually. Your donation will go towards the invaluable work that Crisis are doing, every little helps!! :)
Thanks for reading and stay safe,
