Story

Every £10 you donate to this campaign becomes £25*, thanks to a generous local donor's match funding!

This Christmas, help us keep open the doors of our services, providing essential support for people experiencing homelessness in Woking.

We believe that no one should have to sleep rough, and everyone should have somewhere they can call home.

At York Road Project, we offer accommodation and support for anyone experiencing homelessness in Woking and the surrounding area.

Our vital local services include a night shelter, move-on accommodation, an outreach team, wellbeing projects, and our Resource Centre. More than 300 people access our services every year.

Anyone can become homeless, and with your support we can be there for anyone who needs us, helping them turn their lives back round. As Jaroslav, one of our recent clients, explains:

I had an accident that impacted my dexterity putting me out of work and I ended up becoming homeless, something I never thought would happen to me. [Thanks to York Road Project] I have got my life back, with new opportunities. I am about to move into my own place.

Your donations will help keep our services open, including our Resource Centre in central Woking, which is now solely funded by charitable donations.

Sign up for our Advent Calendar for some bonus treats!

Thanks to support from Woking's many wonderful small businesses, we are running a Christmas advent calendar, exclusively for members of our mailing list.

Every day in the countdown to Christmas we will email you a little treat: either a success story of a recent client, a behind-the-scenes secret from our services, or some amazing treats and deals from local businesses in Woking - exclusively for people on our mailing list!

Don't miss out on the Christmas fun; join our mailing list here!

*including Gift Aid, if eligible. Match funding is available for the first £5,000 donated to this campaign.
