Supporting homeless people this Christmas
We encourage you to support our vital work in helping those who are homeless. Churches have a vital role to play this winter. Whether by raising awareness, offering practical support, or advocating for change, your involvement can bring hope to those in need.
Your church can make a life-changing difference for people who have nowhere to call home
With ourfree resources for churches, we hope to spread awareness of homelessness – and inspire congregations to support the work of homelessness charities such as ours.
Every hymn sung, every prayer lifted, every pound raised can shine Christ’s light into the darkest of places.
Who you’ll be helping
Our grants help homeless people on their journey towards stable, independent living.
We do this through our partnerships with 133 homeless services across England.
More than 3,000 people each year receive our help.
They include veterans, people affected by domestic violence, young people, ex-offenders, asylum seekers and people with mental health issues or addictions.
Together, we can ensure people experiencing homelessness know they are not forgotten.

Why your support matters
Church Homeless Charity has deep roots within the Christian community. Many of our loyal donors first heard about our work at their church.
The church-going community is fundamental to our work – we can support hundreds more individuals in need thanks to fundraising within churches across the country.
It is important to note that we don’t receive funding from the Church of England – we are an independent charity. Neither do we receive funding from the government, lottery, or other large grant-giving organisations.
Therefore, our work relies on the generosity of individuals and churches who share our passion for supporting those with very little.
‘I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink. I was a stranger, and you took me into your home.’
Matthew 25:35
