Story

Oxford is facing a homelessness crisis. The numbers of local people rough sleeping or in unsafe accommodation have rocketed in recent years, and funding cuts are putting vital services at risk. 

For homeless people in Oxfordshire, Christmas isn't a time of magic or celebration - but with your help, we can change this. 

A gift of just £15 could give a local homeless person a hot Christmas dinner, and a pathway of hope for a brighter future. 

£10 could provide an essential care pack for a homeless person coming off the street

£15 could provide a hot Christmas dinner

£60 could pay for work experience equipment

£240 could entirely fund one trainee through Aspire's work programme

Money raised from this appeal will go directly to local charities Oxford Homeless Pathways and Aspire Oxford. Together these charities provide both immediate support and the longer term specialist support needed to find independent housing and employment.

You can give the Gift of Hope this Christmas. Thank you.
