How to help people facing homelessness at Christmas

Each year Crisis at Christmas opens its doors to provide warmth and support to people experiencing homelessness over the festive season. We offer a safe place to stay, companionship, healthcare and a full Christmas dinner. But this wouldn’t be possible without your support.

Learn more about the different ways you can help this Christmas. Whether that’s donating, volunteering or building a Christmas stocking, you’ll be making a real difference to someone facing homelessness this Christmas.

Donate to Crisis at Christmas

Donate to our Christmas charity appeal and show you stand with people experiencing homelessness. Your generous donations helped us support over 6,600 people last year through our day centres, hotels and Crisis Skylight centres. This year we want to help even more people rebuild their lives and leave homelessness behind for good.
