My story

[p]Home, a word I use every day. It is a warm, loving and comfortable space, full of people I admire and things that provide joy. It keeps my kids healthy, warm and safe. It is my 0,0,0, the place I center most of my world around. [/p][p]But what if it wasn’t there? What would you do?[/p][p]236,000 people have found themselves in this position. Common causes are not drug and alcohol-related, but common afflictions and situation that any one of us could fall foul of. Mental health challenges, teenagers with no family to fall back on, redundancy & rising costs or a family death are just some of the common causes of homelessness. [/p][p]With the political and economic uncertainty Britain is facing, rough sleeping is forecast to rise by 76% in the next decade unless we do something about it. [/p][p]Together, lets help fund some of the services and provide dignity, respect and safety to the homeless by providing access to help quickly. [/p][p][br][/p][p]· £10 provides a warm welcome and help someone take the first steps out of homelessness[/p][p]· £25 helps someone regain a sense of worth through healthcare and counselling[/p][p]· £50 helps someone gain the skills or qualifications they need to turn their life around[/p][p]· £100 provides support, training and equipment to help someone find their way back into employment[/p][p]· £250 provides one-to-one support to help someone find a safe place to call home[/p][p][br][/p][p]Many thanks[/p][p]Barrie[/p]
