    Story

    Welcome to our JustGiving page.

    What will happen to your donation...

    We are working hard to raise £1700 per person enabling us to get the appropriate accommodation for each of them.

    Yes, there are shelters that open temporarily but this is not a long term fix.

    Just £1700 per person will allow us to:

    - pay first months rent

    - pay deposit

    - provide furniture

    We will then work alongside professionals to help them start a fresh life.

    We are a group of volunteers using the proceeds given from you, the public, businesses and companies to feed our homeless, and provide them with everyday important essentials.

    We ask around the UK for donations of many of these essentials and other items.

    We tirelessly contact businesses all over the UK morning, day and night, hoping they will get in touch to help with one of the many things we do.

    We also rely hugely on raffle prizes donated by the public, businesses and companies which we raffle or auction off raising essential funds to help our cause.

    We have been in the press and on the radio to help raise awareness. Our Facebook group continues to grow and we are now known by thousands. We are hoping you can help us by sharing our group or in any other way you can.

    In the evenings we go out in groups and provide our street friends with hot and cold food, offer them essentials, company, advice and compassion. We understand each individuals’ reason for being homeless. Evening volunteers are very welcome to join our night walks.

    We understand the opinion that many people have on our homeless...

    Dirty / smelly / drugs / alcoholics / breaking the law etc. But, having been a volunteer on the front line, spending months with these extraordinary people has opened my eyes in a way I never thought possible.

    They are vulnerable, forgotten, dying alone, cold and ignored. These people have a story, a reason, but they deserve a chance. They deserve help.

    Please, if you could make a kind donation, together we can make a change. Save a life.

    If you suddenly lost your home, your family, your possessions, and nobody was there to help what would you do? Where would you go? Swindon Homeless Volunteers accepts everyone.

    If you are a company or business or someone who can help in any way, please don't hesitate to contact us. We love to hear from the press, radio stations, magazines etc.

    If anyone would like a to arrange a meeting, we are more than happy to meet you.

    We are working hard on securing events, if you have a restaurant, hotel, pub, hall or anything similar please contact us if you are happy for us to raise money on your premises we are extremely grateful for those offers.

    If you have any other ideas we'd love to hear them.

    Please email louisea83@hotmail.co.uk

    If you got this far, and are still reading - Thank you.

    Please check out our Facebook group info to see the items we need and let us know if you can kindly help.

      What is crowdfunding?

      Crowdfunding is a new type of fundraising where you can raise funds for your own personal cause, even if you're not a registered charity.

      The page owner is responsible for the distribution of funds raised.

      Great people make things happen

      Do you know anyone in need or maybe want to help a local community cause?

      Create you own page and donʼt let that cause go unfunded!
