Making a major gift
How your major gift will make a difference
Your generous support as a major donor plays a vital role in ensuring that everybody has a place to call home.
Our dedicated team works to match your specific philanthropic interests with projects that have the greatest impact for families who are faced with losing their homes.
By working together, we can achieve transformational change for the lives of individuals who come to us for support, as well as campaigning to effect change at policy level.
How your gift can help:
- £8,000 could provide critical legal advice to more than 50 people dealing with housing issues.
- £17,000 could fund a year of intensive support for 10 families without a secure home. (Figures based on 2015/16 financial year)
- £35,965 would enable us to operate our helpline for one week, allowing us to answer the phone calls of 1228 people facing bad housing and homelessness. (Figures based on calls answered in 2017/18)
