The Consolidated Almshouse Charity of Swanscombe has been providing homes to Swanscombe and Greenhithe for over 100 years, We need to expand our homes to provide more to meet the demand of the people who are homeless and in need within our community.

Story

The Consolidated Almshouse Charity of Swanscombe is on a mission to provide a safe haven for individuals in our community aged over 55 who are facing the harsh reality of homelessness.

Every day, we witness the growing need for more homes, as our current supply simply cannot meet the demand. We believe that everyone deserves a place to call home, and with your support, we can purchase a property on the open market to expand our capacity and help more people in need.

Imagine a world where no one has to face homelessness alone. By allocating this property to those who qualify for housing benefits, we not only create a stable living environment but also generate an income that allows us to maintain and insure the property. This revenue will enable us to acquire additional properties, ensuring that we can continue our vital work in supporting those who are vulnerable.

What sets us apart is our commitment: there are no paid staff or shareholders; every penny raised goes directly towards combating homelessness. We do not require deposits or upfront fees from those seeking assistance; instead, we carefully validate each application to ensure that help reaches those who truly need it.

This property will always belong to the charity and will never be sold, providing ongoing support for generations to come—a truly lasting donation.

We invite you to join us in this important cause. Every contribution counts, whether big or small, and every share of our fundraising campaign helps raise awareness about this pressing issue. We have the skills and structure necessary to tackle homelessness effectively; what we lack are the liquid funds needed for immediate action.

Unfortunately, traditional funding sources like lottery grants often overlook housing initiatives due to strict regulations, making fundraising essential for our accelerated growth in solving homelessness one person at a time.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast, and secure—your details remain safe with them as they never sell information or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, your money goes directly to us, making it the most efficient way to contribute while saving time and cutting costs for our charity.

Together, let’s make a difference! Our target is £120,000 GBP—every penny brings us closer to providing homes for those in need.
