Being faced with homelessness at Christmas can be a very lonely time. Over the festive period and beyond, we will be a welcoming, safe and supportive home for 22 people experiencing homelessness in Hampshire.
As well as having somewhere warm to stay, our residents will have access to specialist one-to-one support so that they can start rebuilding their lives and escape homelessness for good.
Our staff and volunteers will make Christmas Day as special as it can be whilst respecting that not all our residents will be feeling festive. Residents at our main site will have the opportunity to tuck into Christmas dinner cooked by volunteers and we will ensure that everyone receives gifts.
There are lots of ways that you can help to give hope to someone faced with homelessness this Christmas and ensure that they feel remembered. Hover over or click on the boxes below to find out more.
