Every year Crisis at Christmas helps people experiencing homelessness. We provide them with Christmas dinner, welfare, companionship, vital care and help with a place to stay over the festive period.
From skills training to help with employment, we also give them the specialist support they need to leave homelessness behind and find a safe and secure home. And because we offer year-round training, education and support, they all have someone standing by their side for as long as it takes.
Crisis at Christmas wouldn't be possible without our dedicated supporters who kindly donate to help people facing homelessness at Christmas.
Last year, thanks to Christmas donations from generous supporters, Crisis at Christmas delivered services to over 5,500 people across the UK.
This year, we will continue to help people to start a life beyond homelessness. Will you join us?

“I’ve gone days without sleep – the streets are too scary. I was lost until I found Crisis. That first shower felt like a mini miracle. It was my first proper chat in months and a simple smile has never meant so much. People didn’t just talk about helping me – they really did it.”
