Story
Lewes District’s homeless and those at significant risk of homelessness, through no fault of their own, are caught in the eye of the storm caused by the energy and cost-of-living crisis. They do not have the financial resources to address their housing needs,” Gary B, HOMELINK Client Manager
Increases in living costs affect the most vulnerable in our society. This has meant that demand for home essential goods such as beds, white goods, carpets, etc. has increased, all of which cost more.
We have set up this Winter Appeal to address the additional level of need within the Lewes District area for referred individuals and families who are struggling to afford the basics they need to live.
The reality is that these items make a huge difference to people’s lives.
CAN YOU HELP MAKE A DIFFERENCE LOCALLY THIS CHRISTMAS?
Many families cannot provide essential goods for their homes and struggle to cook, buy food or wash clothes. Indeed, more and more rental properties do not even have floor covering as standard, just boards or concrete. This is where HOMELINK can and does assist those in most need,” Shaun X, HOMELINK Client Manager
HOMELINK helps reduce the impact of poverty by sourcing, paying for, supplying and fitting goods as necessary.
A donation from you will enable HOMELINK to continue to provide the vital front-line support we offer individuals and families in crisis in the Lewes District, providing home essential items or emergency support with start-up costs when moving to a new property, as well as energy saving grants for carpets and curtains and immediate crisis grants.
