Joy to Give Appeal

Campaign by Arc

Small things, make a big difference! Every year, Arc supports around 350 people experiencing homelessness in Somerset through supported accommodation and range of services. But it’s often the small things that make the biggest impact.

Arc (formerly Taunton Association for the Homeless) houses, supports and empowers homeless people in Somerset. We are a local homeless charitable organisation, supporting over 450 people per year. Together, we can end rough sleeping in the South West. To read more, please visit our website.

Story

This Christmas, you can help bring comfort, dignity, and hope to those without their own home in Somerset.

By supporting our Joy to Give Appeal, your donation goes directly towards the practical items and meaningful extras that help people on their journey out of homelessness.

Homelessness doesn’t pause after the holidays. That’s why every contribution you make will help us spread joy, support, and kindness throughout 2026.

Together, we can spread the joy 365 days a year!

Here's how your donation could make a difference;

£5 - Art Materials - A small gift that can make a big emotional impact.

£10 - Toiletry Pack - Essential hygiene items that help restore cleanliness and confidence.

£15 - Street Kit - Practical supplies providing comfort and safety for those rough sleeping.

£75 - Welcome Pack - Everyday basics needed to help the transition into accommodation a little easier.

This list doesn’t include every way your donation might be used, and we may direct your gift wherever it’s needed most to support our clients. All contributions directly benefit people experiencing homelessness in Somerset. If you’d like your gift used for something specific, please add a note with your donation. Thank you.
