One act of kindness can change everything
Make a difference for someone experiencing homelessness this Christmas.

Donate the cost of a gift for someone experiencing homelessness and receive an e-card that you can gift to a loved one to share the impact of your donation.
Bring a gift
to one of our Trees of Kindness, opening soon in Aberdeen, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Glasgow and London.
When kindness is shared, it grows
We’re on a mission to provide 300,000 meals, gifts, and essential items to homeless and vulnerable people.
As the temperature drops, rough sleepers are facing freezing conditions, and many may have nowhere to go this Christmas. As well as this, children across the country who are living in poorly maintained temporary accommodation will be waking up in squalid conditions on Christmas morning, without a gift to open.
With the effects of the cost-of-living crisis, and housing emergencies across the country, your kindness is needed now more than ever.
Turn kindness into change
From fitness challenges to knitting, sweepstakes to skydives, there are many ways you can get involved - and we’re here to support you along the way. Your fundraising will help:
Buy and distribute tens of thousands of gifts to homeless and vulnerable families, children and individuals.
Provide tens of thousands of Christmas dinners and food packs to people in need.
Provide essential shelter for people without a roof over their heads this the winter.
