Homelessness shouldn't exist.
Help us prevent it.
Nobody deserves to be homeless.
Your donations play a crucial role in preventing and overcoming homelessness across Leicester, Leicestershire, and Rutland, by funding our life-changing advice, support, outreach and advocacy.
No matter how big or small, your support will help keep our essential services running; offering housing advice, mediation, rough sleeper outreach and so much more. Each donation helps us tackle the root cause of instability, and create long-lasting change.
With homelessness increasing by an enormous 33% in the East Midlands in 2024, the time to get involved is now.
Let's change lives, together.

Your impact...
We are immensely proud of what we achieve across the county - keeping people safely housed, and finding new, stable homes for others.
And, to put it simply, we couldn't do it without supporters like you.
Your donations go further than fighting homelessness; they nurture wellbeing, transform confidence, empower knowledge, and ultimately create brighter, stable futures away from housing crisis.
