Rebuilding broken lives

We are a small charity that helps homeless people in England rebuild their lives away from the streets.

Our grants provide individual homeless people the financial support they need to make the next step in their lives.

And we fund projects that help build the skills and self-confidence that enable people to progress from the streets to a secure home of their own.

Your generosity in action

In December 2020 we awarded 98 personal grants to help homeless people rebuild their lives.

  • Dec 2020

    After his Father passed away, Jeremy had to leave the family home and became homeless. He has worked hard and taken various courses to improve his employability, but he had no clothes appropriate for a job or interview. We provided funding for new clothing, for both work and for him to feel more confident in.

  • Dec 2020

    Night shelters are more important than ever, with a cold winter upon us and many shelters struggling with a limited capacity. We continue to provide funding for a permanent member of staff at a night shelter in Brighton.

  • Dec 2020

    After suffering with a chronic illness, Harry could no longer work. Unable to pay rent, he lost his home. Now he’s getting a home of his own once more, we made sure it was as comfortable as possible by providing basic items that Harry sadly could not afford like curtains, bedding and towels.

  • Dec 2020

    We are providing funding for thousands of Christmas gifts for homeless people across the country, because everyone deserves to feel loved and supported at Christmas.
