UPDATE: This campaign is now closed - thank you so much for your support! Please direct any further donations through our website: www.yorkroadproject.org.uk/donate.
We are so pleased to have not only unlocked all £5,000 of available match funding, but also exceeded our higher £10,000 target. This money will make a huge difference to our services in 2025.
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.
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.
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!
*Match funding is available for the first £5,000 donated to this campaign.
