We’re working towards a future where rough sleeping is rare, brief, and non-recurring, but until we get there, we need your support, so clients like Shane can continue their journey to independence.
- £10 could buy gloves and handwarmers for our Outreach Team to distribute
- £25 could provide Christmas lunch and festive activities for residents at Penny Wade House
- £50 could pay for a mobile phone and credit ensuring a client can contact their support worker
- £100 will help to keep a client warm in their home this winter following a period of homelessness
Shane's story
Shane, 60, has a background in market trading and the creative industries, but found himself facing homelessness when irregular work meant he fell behind on his rent and was evicted from his housing association home.
When our Outreach team met Shane, he had been sleeping in his tent for almost six years. Once safely housed at our hostel, Penny Wade House, he began to set goals, learn new skills and focus on becoming fully independent.
