Story

Christmas is often the toughest time for people are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. Physically, financially and emotionally it represents a real and desperate challenge. Nearly half of our clients have a mental health diagnosis. We must never underestimate how essential support services, such as ours are.

Paul a previous client of Turning Tides often felt despised, avoided or even abused whilst living on the streets. Any small act of kindness or human warmth provided such a valuable form of sustenance to a suffering homeless person.

For just £35 you can pull up a chair or for £70 two chairs, for a homeless man or woman in your community to help them feel safe, warm and cared for.

About the charity

Turning Tides, previously WCHP, believe that everyone has the right to a home, regardless of the difficulties and issues they may face in their lives. We believe in showing those who need our help that the wider community are there to support them and to offer hope for a better future.
