We aim to ensure people have support to prevent them becoming homeless, that those who do are helped to secure, safe accommodation, and that no-one has to sleep rough.
Will you Bee There?
Our Advent appeal for 2026 has just launched! Have you seen our special animation yet?
Our bees are buzzing with excitement during their school’s version of the greatest story ever told – the birth of Jesus.
However, they are keen to change the script which says there’s no room at the inn. They think we should all try to #BeeThere for others…
This Advent, will you rewrite the script for just one person?
Demand for our services is higher than ever
Children, young people and adults in our area are struggling to keep food on the table, and to find a warm, safe, secure place to call home.
Can you please help us to provide homelessness and poverty support to even more people in crisis – both now and for the long-term?
