Meet Steve, a dedicated philanthropist and Changing Lives volunteer whose energy and compassion help people take the next step out of homelessness.
Crisis’ Changing Lives programme offers grants that help people experiencing homelessness move into education, training, or self‑employment, empowering them to build a secure future.
Steve reflects on why he supports Crisis’ Changing Lives programme, inspired by its power to help people build independent futures. Hearing members’ stories and seeing their desire to give back has shaped how he thinks about impact. Volunteering has also brought the charity’s work to life in a way statistics alone can’t. His advice to others thinking of getting involved: simply, go for it.
Our new 10-year strategy (launched at the end of July 2024) is focussed on thinking bigger to overcome barriers to progress, doing things differently to inspire success and backing others who are also determined to end homelessness. We are focussed on delivering long term solutions as quickly as possible.
In ten years, the number of people experiencing homelessness will be going down. This doesn’t mean no one will ever lose their home again. But there will be better ways to prevent it – and fast and practical solutions when it happens.
We’ll make this happen by:
Each year we publish an impact report highlighting key areas of our work and how we improve the lives of homeless people. You can also download our annual accounts reports from this page.
Our team are here to support your journey as a philanthropic supporter of Crisis.
