Help us be there when it matters most. Donate now
Right now, thousands of people are urgently trying to just get by without a safe place to call home. They’re trapped in cold, damp, unfit accommodation, fighting to keep a roof over their family’s heads. Or in dirty hostels, sleeping in cars, tents or on sofas.
Our country’s housing emergency is spiralling. Every four minutes, even as you read this, another household becomes homeless.
Sadly, things are only set to get worse. More people than ever now live in daily fear of losing their home.
This is a housing emergency. We must act now.
For someone at risk of homelessness, our support and advice can be the difference between finding emergency accommodation or spending a night in their car.
Our campaigning work can mean the difference between being powerless or seeing legislative changes to fight unfair evictions, rogue landlords and dangerous housing.
Donate now and you will help us fight to fix the broken housing system and defend the right to a safe, secure and affordable home for everyone.
Your donation won’t be restricted to a single project but will be used wherever it’s needed most to help those fighting for their right to a safe home.
Please donate now. You could help provide urgent advice when it matters most.
