At Northampton Hope Centre we are seeing over 60 people each day at our HandUp service, our centre for providing immediate support to people facing homelessness. On average we are also seeing 3 to 5 new people every day.

Our biggest concern is the number of people not prepared for rough sleeping in the winter months. These are people who are new to being homeless, inexperienced in living in the freezing, wet, winter conditions. We need financial donations more than ever, to help people survive.

This Christmas, more and more people will find it a struggle to eat, never mind celebrate Christmas.

Donate the cost equivalent of a place at your Christmas table, your works event, Christmas tree, Turkey or Christmas gift, to help us support those struggling this Christmas.

We are able to purchase discounted food and goods with financial donations, this means for every turkey donated, we could purchase two with the funds. With financial donations we can use the funding where it is needed the most, to help the most vulnerable this winter.

As a guide on average people spend:

£430 per person on Christmas Gifts.

£88.00 on a Christmas tree.

£45.00 on a turkey.

£35.00 on a Christmas dinner.

Take part in our Christmas campaign and save a Place for Hope at your Christmas table.
