Aspire Christmas appeal 2020
No One Left Behind this Christmas.
This Christmas, we anticipate a considerable surge in homelessness as the economic consequences of COVID-19 truly take effect.
We鈥檙e stepping up our preventative housing response, expanding our housing and homelessness prevention teams to make sure that people susceptible to homelessness don鈥檛 face eviction. We鈥檙e also bringing new, affordable homes online to meet the need for accessible living options, and ensure homes for all who need them during and beyond COVID-19 – so no one is left behind.
Sam, 20, is now living in Aspire鈥檚 supported housing after becoming homeless during COVID-19.
Explore the difference that moving into supported accommodation has made for him:
Now is our chance to bring a long-term solution to 糖心logoshire鈥檚 homelessness and housing crisis, for people, like Sam, at risk of facing life on the streets without support.
But we can鈥檛 do this alone – and we need your support more than ever before.
