Story

Bringing hope where it’s needed most!

Happy Days supports and empowers people who are homeless or in crisis to live independent and purposeful lives by helping them to access the advice and services they need to bring about sustainable change.

I'm joining other fundraisers for a night to remember! We'll be trying to get some sleep in the car park at Dean Clough in Halifax. Dean Clough is an old mill complex. Temperatures are likely to drop below zero overnight. I'll have my sleeping bag, a pillow and a flask of warm tea to keep me going!

Please help this worthy cause by donating via this JustGiving page. All money goes directly to the charity Happy Days, to support the work they do to help the unfortunate homeless people, who sleep rough all year round in Halifax.

Happy Days supports and empowers people who are homeless or in crisis to live independent and purposeful lives by helping them to access the advice and services they need to bring about sustainable change. We do this by providing a wide range of services including an engagement service which connects people with the specific support they need. We listen to each person individually and create a plan specifically designed to help that person; we gain trust and build real relationships in order to help people. Happy Days meets the growing demands of those struggling to cope with the cost of living crisis by operating a broad range of services that tackle homelessness and food poverty. These include The Winter Shelter, Halifax Community Supermarket and The Community Café at The Gathering Place. For single adults who are homeless, the charity operates supported accommodation and services that are designed to help residents move on and live independently. This may include support to overcome addiction, skills to sustain employment and tenancy and specialist input for mental health and trauma. Our vision is to be a leading and highly valued provider of services to people who are homeless or in crisis.
