COLD WEATHER EMERGENCY APPEAL
Extreme weather is threatening the lives of people sleeping rough on our streets and could continue to do so for weeks to come.
WE NEED YOUR HELP.
As temperatures drop below freezing in London, people experiencing homelessness need your help more now than ever. With your support, we can keep people sleeping rough warm right now, but also make sure that next time there’s a cold snap, they’re off the streets for good in a home of their own.
WHAT WE NEED.
With your help, we can keep people safe – with warm clothing, hot drinks and a hearty meal. We can wash and dry their wet clothes, and provide a shelter during the day and overnight on the coldest nights of the year.
But more than that, by keeping people warm and dry, we can start to earn their trust – the first step towards working together to end their homelessness for good.
