Story

Christmas can be lonely and isolating. Young people who have experienced homelessness have been through a difficult time. Often they're living alone for the first time with little or no contact with family. At this time of year they need your support to keep cosy!

I was sleeping rough in car parks or garages because I had nowhere to stay. When I came to the Foyer I only had what I stood up in. But I had a safe home for the first time in ages! That was a couple of months ago. Staff have really listened to me and are helping me a lot to look after myself. I know I'm getting there!

Your donation will make a real difference.

£5 provides heating for 3 nights, for £10 we can provide a fleecy blanket and a hot water bottle , for £15 we can provide cosy clothing. £25 funds 1:1 support to find a job, £35 funds 1:1 crisis counselling for a young person .

Please donate and give a young person a cosy Christmas. Thank you!
