Accumulate
Accumulate is The Art School for the Homeless. We improve the wellbeing and futures of young people who are affected by homelessness by providing creative workshops and opportunities in art, photography, creative writing, film, fashion and other creative disciplines.
Church Homeless Charity
Church Homeless Charity helps individuals who are homeless or at risk of homelessness by funding the tools they need to regain confidence, develop essential skills, and secure a place to call home. Because every story of homelessness is unique, our support is tailored to each person’s journey.
Emmaus
Emmaus supports formerly homeless people by giving them a home, work experience in a social enterprise and an opportunity to get themselves back on their feet again. For many people who experience homelessness, one of the biggest obstacles they must overcome is a loss of self-esteem. Emmaus provides an opportunity to regain this, with a chance to make a real contribution to their community.
Help the Homeless
Help the Homeless is a grant-giving trust, founded in 1975 to help homeless people off the streets and enable them to live healthy, independent lives. We fund a wide variety of organisations all over the country and favour small, grassroots charities using their local knowledge to work with the most vulnerable people in their areas.
LawWorks
LawWorks (the operating name for the Solicitors Pro Bono Group) is a charity working to enable access to justice through connecting people to free legal advice. Covid-19 has already had a significant impact on the vulnerable groups and communities supported by clinics on the LawWorks network, our members and volunteers. Many people will suffer from loss of employment, difficulty accessing benefits, housing issues, and domestic abuse, and these issues are likely to continue long after the immediate crisis is over.
Shelter
Home is everything, isn’t it? It’s the place we feel safe – and the foundation on which we can thrive. Sarah knows that all too well. After her mother passed away, Sarah and her family were evicted from the housing association home they’d all shared. For three years, they lived in temporary accommodation, often without light, heating or hot water. By writing your will for FREE – and including a gift to Shelter – you can give families like Sarah’s real change.
Shelter Scotland
Kardinell was only 6 when his life was pulled out from under his feet – and his mum, Angela, faced every parent’s worst nightmare.“How do you explain to a child, who’s gone to school in the morning that they’ve got nowhere to live when they come home?”
Spires
For the past 30 years, Spires has been a lifeline for people experiencing homelessness and disadvantage in South London. We support people in their time of crisis before they become homeless, as well as supporting those experiencing homelessness into securing and maintaining accommodation. We provide a range of services, directly or in partnership with others, to those experiencing homelessness or poverty.
St Mungo’s
Tonight, someone will sleep rough for the first time. It will be cold, uncomfortable, lonely and potentially life threatening. For more than 50 years, St Mungo’s has worked to end homelessness. Every night we offer a bed and support to more than 2,300 people across London and the south.
YMCA England & Wales
For 180 years YMCA has been working across our communities, helping to give young people a fair start in life. Every year YMCAs across England and Wales support more than 375,000 young people. Whether it’s the houses provided for thousands of young people experiencing homelessness, the youth clubs so desperately needed, to the vital mental health and career services, our philosophy of supporting young people holistically, means we provide not only a bed but also help young people gain the training, skills and confidence to go on to lead independent lives.
