Christmas can be a lonely time for people who have faced homelessness and other challenges like poor mental health and social isolation.

“The worst thing is looking through the windows at everybody else’s Christmas.”

The Christmas Gift Appeal will buy festive gifts so nobody feels left out this Christmas.

We have teamed up with Derby-based company, Colleague Box, who will put together festive treat boxes to give to residents living in our supported housing. A donation of £20 will buy one box – bringing a much-needed festive boost to someone who may otherwise be facing a cheerless Christmas.

We provide housing and support for people who were sleeping on the streets, living in insecure housing or had nowhere to go after leaving care, hospital or prison. Many people are dealing with additional challenges, such as poor mental health, drug or alcohol use or experience of trauma.

Our vision is a gift for every single resident – so we need your help!

Your support will mean the world to someone who may be feeling lonely or anxious this festive season. Please give today to make a difference.

When you make your donation there is the option to include a message. Please use this space to add your own words to give the gift recipient some extra festive cheer. We’ll add your message to a Christmas card with their gift.
