Donate to stand with families like Natalie and Tia's

£46 could fund two webchats, providing essential housing advice

For the first four years of Tia's life, she and her mum, Natalie, were homeless and forced to live in unsafe and unstable temporary accommodation.

They often lived in one room where they had to share a bed, and space was so limited that Tia had no room to crawl around.

We worked alongside Natalie to show her there was a way out. By providing Natalie with housing advice, she was able to start bidding on a social home and eventually secured a permanent place.

No child should have to imagine a safe place to call home

Sadly, there are thousands of children still dreaming of a safe, permanent home this Christmas.

This isn't right. Every child deserves a safe home where they can grow, learn and thrive.

Will you stand alongside families like Natalie and Tia's so, together, we can make a change?
