How to create a care package for someone facing homelessness this Christmas 

Crisis works at Christmas and all year round to support people across Britain to rebuild their lives away from homelessness.  

Our Christmas services work alongside the specialist support we provide all year, which includes helping people to find their own stable home, to access education and training.  

If you’d like to get involved in helping people facing homelessness this Christmas and beyond – you can fundraise, volunteer, donate a gift and even build a care package for Crisis.
