Happy Days supports and empowers people who are homeless or in crisis to live independent and purposeful lives by helping them to access the advice and services they need to bring about sustainable change. We do this by providing a wide range of services including an engagement service which connects people with the specific support they need. We listen to each person individually and create a plan specifically designed to help that person; we gain trust and build real relationships in order to help people. Happy Days meets the growing demands of those struggling to cope with the cost of living crisis by operating a broad range of services that tackle homelessness and food poverty. These include The Winter Shelter, Halifax Community Supermarket and The Community Café at The Gathering Place. For single adults who are homeless, the charity operates supported accommodation and services that are designed to help residents move on and live independently. This may include support to overcome addiction, skills to sustain employment and tenancy and specialist input for mental health and trauma. Our vision is to be a leading and highly valued provider of services to people who are homeless or in crisis.

The people who turn to us have often burnt bridges with family, friends and services. Their mental and physical health can be poor and being signposted to services is simply not enough. We connect people with the specialist help they need and commit to not letting go until we are confident they are fully supported and engaged. We act as advocates to make sure their voice is heard and we create an environment where everyone feels they belong.

I’ve had some bad times, and you have really helped me. If it wasn’t for Happy Days, I would have really struggled.

Now more than ever, we need the support of our community to give people what most of us take for granted everyday. Tonight, we want you to pledge to stand with Happy Days, and to band together to raise funds to help us provide these essential services. Together, we can help people live happy, healthy, independent and purposeful lives.
