As the festive season approaches, many of us look forward to warm homes filled with laughter, shared meals, and the comfort of loved ones. Yet, for those facing homelessness, Christmas is often a stark reminder of what they’ve lost—a roof over their head, a sense of security, and the hope for a brighter future.

In Somerset, the reality is all too pressing. People are struggling to make ends meet as the cost of living rises, and individuals who once had stable lives now find themselves on the streets. Here at Arc we believe no one should feel forgotten at Christmas. But we can’t do it alone. We need your financial donations to make a real, tangible difference to peoples lives.

Your support goes beyond providing temporary relief—it helps build pathways to lasting change. With your help, we can make a difference;

£10.00 purchases a set of basic toiletries, restoring confidence and cleanliness for someone without a home.

£20.00 supplies a bedding pack, giving someone a warm and clean place to rest at night.

£25.00 pays for a sleeping bag and roll mat for someone found rough sleeping.

£50.00 buys a welcome pack filled with essential items to help make the transition from homelessness to more settled accommodation easier.

£100 provides 3 meals a day for 4 days, for 40 people living in our 24hr staffed hostel.

£200 helps fund 8 clients to receive 9 sessions of one on one specialist counselling.

Your donation isn’t just a number—it’s a step forward for someone in need. It’s a chance to give a person hope, and the belief that they can overcome their current challenges.

This Christmas, let’s remind those facing homelessness in Somerset that they are not invisible and make this season a true season of giving. Your generosity could be the gift that changes someone’s life. Thank you for helping us take the next step forward—together.
