By donating a gift voucher, you can help us to provide practical and immediate support to those facing the threat of homelessness this Christmas.

Gift vouchers give us the flexibility to respond and relieve some of the financial pressure a family or individuals may be facing during a time of crisis.

During the current cost of living crisis a gift voucher could make the difference for a family having to choose between paying their rent, keeping their house warm or buying food this winter.

You can help by donating a gift voucher so that our service workers can provide practical and immediate support to those facing the threat of homelessness this Christmas.

By donating a gift voucher, you can help us to provide practical and immediate support to those facing the threat of homelessness this Christmas. Gift vouchers enable our service staff the flexibility of providing additional supports that can help to relieve some of the financial pressure that an individual or family may be facing.

The fear and trauma of having nowhere to sleep is a stark reality for some, the current housing crisis, coupled with the significant rise in the cost of living, pose even greater challenges to those who don’t have the security of a home. We urgently need your help to continue providing supports to those who are living with the threat of homelessness.

More and more people are turning to us for help. In 2021, there was an increase of 26% in the number of households we supported with our services. The number of young adults we supported increased by 25% compared to 2020. Funds raised through The Great Gift Voucher Drive will have a significant impact in helping individuals and families this Christmas who are facing the threat of homelessness.

A gift voucher could make the difference for a family having to choose between paying their rent, keeping their house warm or buying food this winter.

Please do not hesitate to contact a member of our team at [email protected] if you have any questions.
