Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

We both hate camping and value our sleep but it's just one night for us. For the homeless it may be an unwanted way of life. Alabare's Big Sleep at Home will support homeless and vulnerable people effected by the ongoing impact of Coronavirus.

• The UK saw a 69% increase of people claiming unemployment benefits in the UK in April. (Office for National Statistics)
  
• Citizen’s Advice calculated that up to 2.6 million private renters may have missed or expected to miss a rent payment in April 2020. 

COVID-19 has presented enormous challenges to Alabare's work with homeless and vulnerable people, and has forced them to postpone all their fundraising events at a time where we need to spend more money to save lives. There is likely to be an impending crisis in the private rental sector as well as an increase in unemployment and mental ill health risk leading to a surge in homelessness in the coming months.

As such, it is more important than ever that Alabaré is able to continue its work ensuring there is a safe home and support to build a new start for those so critically effected by the lockdown.
