For most of us the Christmas period and cold weather brings happiness, joy and festive cheer. Christmas is a time to enjoy the cold by ice skating, building snowmen and cuddling up by a log fire. But for the 236,000 people experiencing homelessness in the UK Christmas and the cold winter weather can be a fatal time of year.

A home for christmas exists to help those in danger over the christmas period by providing shelter and warmth. With teams in Brighton, Manchester, the Midlands and Essex, A home for christmas are committed to helping as much as possible and as a result spend much of the Christmas period fundraising, securing shelter and providing blankets and other warmth to many on the streets.

We can't help without the help of generous people. Anything you can give will help us to continue providing home for christmas and we thank you for all your help in advance.
