Would you want to spend your Christmas here?

No, neither would we. But it is still a harsh reality for thousands of people who are facing Christmas without a home. We want to do what we can to share some love this festive season, so we’ve reserved 50 places at Crisis Christmas Centres for homeless guests this year.

“To feel loved, and to know that your heart is connected to someone, helped me stay alive.”

It doesn’t stop there. Throughout the year, Crisis provides help with employment and skills, offering access to training courses; and housing advice to help find affordable homes, providing support with rent and bills – all aimed at ending homelessness for good.

Last year 4,000 people were welcomed to Crisis Christmas centres, find out how it helped them:

It costs just £28.87 to reserve a place at a Crisis Christmas Centre and it could help someone to rebuild their life.
