Crisis Christmas is an annual initiative to establish centres that provide shelter and support to London's homeless during Christmas.

 

 

Below, you'll find some information on homelessness and a link to Crisis' website for more detail.

Homelessness is an isolating and destructive experience and homeless people are some of the most vulnerable and socially excluded in our society.

Homelessness is a problem throughout the UK, although it is more prevalent in urban centres, especially in London.

Homelessness is about more than rooflessness. A home is not just a physical space, it also has a legal and social dimension. A home provides roots, identity, a sense of belonging and a place of emotional wellbeing. Homelessness is about the loss of these. Homelessness is costly to the individual, society and the state.
