For £3, less than the cost of a pack of festive chocs, you can help transform the life of a homeless person this Christmas.
Helping vulnerable people off the streets, however, is just the start. Support services need funding for essentials that will put them on the road to recovery.
But as temperatures drop, the Local Strategic Partnership is facing extreme pressure and has delivered an urgent appeal for Christmas donations.

Chairman Alistair Doxat-Purse r said: “Traditionally, during the countdown to Christmas, the nation’s thoughts turn to helping those who face a bleak midwinter without a home.
“Organisations face immense financial challenges when it comes to providing basic items for people who were formerly rough sleeping, when they go into safe accommodation.
“Money donated via the Change for Good contactless giving points and our JustGiving page goes directly to charities and organisations that help those recovering from the trauma of rough sleeping into safe, secure homes. ”
To help , it costs around £250 for a bed and mattress; £150 for a washing machine and £200 for a fridge.
