Since the start of the Coronavirus pandemic there has been a concerning increase in applications for loans to help local families into housing. Relationship breakdown, mental health issues, domestic violence and the loss of employment are all factors that have led people to require our support.

Our interest-free loan scheme has been helping families break free from untenable living situations and access a safe, secure, permanent home for over 20 years. Loans are repaid at a rate that parents can afford and then recycled to help the next family or individual in need. HOMELINK offers a hand-up, not a hand-out, to those in crisis.

This cycle of giving is what makes HOMELINK so special but it has become increasingly hard for us to meet the growing demand for our support through existing funds. That's why we've launched our #homes4families campaign and set a fundraising target of £10k to help us continue to assist parents and children facing homelessness.

Help us meet our target by making a direct donation here on Just Giving. Alternatively, take part in an established event on behalf of HOMELINK or hold an event of your own.

Whatever the fundraising activity, big or small, because 80% of the loans we provide are recycled, any donation made will go a very long way.

So, when you're ready, hit the orange 'Start Fundraising' button to create your own Just Giving page and let the collections begin!

Good luck and keep in touch--together we can prevent homelessness and help families into housing.
