Sober for October
The Big Quit
Campaign by Happy Days UK (RCN 1157527)
This October we're asking you to join The Big Quit and ask friends, family and neighbours to sponsor you to give up something you enjoy, just for one month, to stand in solidarity with those in addiction.

Story

Over 60% of people experiencing homelessness struggle with addiction. More than half have poor mental health too.

Asking for help and breaking addictions is hard, so we are asking you to give up something you enjoy, just for one month, to stand in solidarity with the homeless community.

We know giving up chocolate or social media is worlds apart from the struggles faced by people we support at Happy Days but it is a symbolic act of togetherness and a great way to fundraise for our charity.

With your support for The Big Quit:

£18 - Can pay for a safe, warm place to sleep

£28 - Can pay to feed a family of four for a week

£50 - Can pay for 20 homecooked meals at our free Community Café, for people who can't afford to feed themselves

£87.50 - Can pay for one of our support workers to give intensive 121 support to someone in crisis for half a day

Happy Days supports and empowers people who are homeless or in crisis to live independent and purposeful lives by helping them to access the advice and services they need to bring about sustainable change. We do this by providing a wide range of services including an engagement service which connects people with the specific support they need. We listen to each person individually and create a plan specifically designed to help that person; we gain trust and build real relationships in order to help people. Happy Days meets the growing demands of those struggling to cope with the cost of living crisis by operating a broad range of services that tackle homelessness and food poverty. These include The Winter Shelter, Halifax Community Supermarket and The Community Café at The Gathering Place. For single adults who are homeless, the charity operates supported accommodation and services that are designed to help residents move on and live independently. This may include support to overcome addiction, skills to sustain employment and tenancy and specialist input for mental health and trauma. Our vision is to be a leading and highly valued provider of services to people who are homeless or in crisis.
