H.O.M.E

Is a new charity that has been set up to eradicate homelessness in England. Having a safe environment to sleep at night should be a basic human right experienced by everyone. This is not the case and even though we have systems in place in the UK that are there to support and prevent people from sleeping on the street, we all see and know that there are homeless individuals in our towns and cities. This is an extremely dangerous environment for any person to endure and is completely unnecessary. We are going to work tirelessly to make sure that any individual sleeping on the street will be provided with safe temporary accommodation to sleep in every night until a permanent solution is achieved. This will be done by providing counselling and assisting for any issues being faced by the individuals that prevent them from accessing the help that is already out there. We will provide warm meals, haircuts, counselling, training and will even guide them into the job market and stay supporting them until they are in a position where they have the network in place around them to be fully involved in society.Many homeless individuals are estranged from families so where appropriate we will assist in reconnecting them.

Why are we fundraising now? Phase One.

We are currently raising money for Phase 1 of our operation which is to launch the charity and to get out and helping the homeless. Which includes:-

* Purchasing the fundraising equipment that we need to put into locations and at events.

* Set up a weekly event for the homeless in Sheffield, providing food, getting to them and offering any support that we can

* Putting together care packs to hand out

Phase 1 is just the beginning. Phase 2 will move us from a weekly event to a daily event. Possibly 3 times daily providing food, drinks, and support.

Phase 3 will come after and this is the biggest part of our plan. More details will follow as we move nearer.
