This Christmas, your gift can provide more than somewhere safe to sleep. It can provide the practical support someone needs to rebuild their life, regain their independence, and move towards a secure home of their own.
Every donation makes a life-changing difference.
Double your donation
This year, we’re taking part in the BigGive Christmas Challenge! Thanks so match funding, all donations made between 1 and 8 December will be doubled, at no extra cost to you.
That’s one donation, twice the impact for people facing homelessness.

Workplace & community
There are so many ways to support your local homelessness charity this Christmas – from making a donation, holding a fundraiser, volunteering or getting involved in Gingerbread Street – we would love to hear from you.
Join us on Gingerbread Street
A miniature community made from gingerbread will appear at The Biscuit Factory, Newcastle, from 4 December 2026.
This free exhibition of biscuity buildings aims to raise awareness of homelessness and the sense of community that helps everyone feel they have a place to belong.
Gingerbread Street is built by teams from local businesses and community groups, and is kindly supported by Lovell Homes and the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB).
