I've raised £1000 to support the homeless during winter, through the work of the London Jesus Centre

According to a recent study by Shelter, 307,000 people are sleeping rough or are accommodated in temporary housing in the UK today.
It can be easy to feel overwhelmed at the scale of the problem, but if you want to do something small to make a difference, here's a way you can do that really easily. I work for a charity called the London Jesus Centre and we're aiming to raise money to be able to keep meeting the needs of the many homeless people that come in and out of our doors every day.
"One of the hardest things to find on the streets is space. London is crowded, and everyone is always waking you up and moving you on. What you need more than anything when you are homeless is space. Space to think, to plan, to hope to dream. Space to belong and contribute. I am grateful to the Jesus Centre for offering me this space.” - Mike, a visitor to the drop-in
In this festive season, why not do something generous for those that are struggling just to survive? Anything you can spare will be really appreciated!
