RAFFLE CLOSED

Thanks for taking the time to check out my Raffle for Emmaus! 

- TICKETS £2.50 SEE BELOW FOR DETAILS
- PRIZES LISTED IN PHOTOS - STILL MORE TO COME!

Homelessness is becoming more of a problem every day in the UK, with affordable housing being more of a fairy story than a reality and most of us living pay-cheque to pay-cheque, it would only take a little bad luck for any of us to end up on the street. While exact numbers are obviously difficult to track, it is estimated that homelessness has increased by 134% since 2010. 

But how do you help? Helping the homeless can so often become a battle of morals. None of us can afford to hand £5 to every rough-sleeper we see, as much as we may want to. So often we hear how we 'shouldn't' give money because they'll 'just spend it on drugs and alcohol' (and even if they do, why is it your place to judge?). We're trained to walk straight past, to not make eye contact, heads down, clutching our £4 coffee, and trying to ignore any guilt. Christmas is especially hard, a season all about giving, yet we often give unnecessarily.

Emmaus are an incredible charity that don't just offer a bed for the night, they offer a home. As well as work, and a sense of community within their stores. By offering help for as long as individuals need it, Emmaus don't just give short-term solutions but provide help that will get people off the streets, and keep them off the streets. A bed for the night and a hot meal is a welcome break, but the next morning people are back on the streets again, this cycle is nearly impossible to break.

All you need to do is donate £2.50 per ticket you wish to buy and comment with your Instagram handle! (See T&Cs below for more details)
