Crisis need volunteers for Crisis at Christmas events across the UK. Crisis at Christmas is a unique volunteer effort that provides immediate help for homeless people at a critical time of year. By volunteering with Crisis this Christmas, you can make a real difference to people experiencing homelessness. Applications are open for London, with other regions opening shortly.
Everyone deserves a Christmas, and Crisis wants to make sure every homeless person has the chance to experience it this year. Whether you’re holding a Christmas party, pub quiz or family walk, you could turn it into an amazing fundraiser to help get people off the streets this festive period.
By fundraising for Crisis’ Christmas campaign, you’ll be reserving a place for a homeless person at one of 13 Crisis centres across the UK, guaranteeing good food, company, healthcare and clean clothes in what is a vital first step towards leaving homelessness.
Whether you’ve already got something planned or feel inspired to think up something new, you can find all the help you need to run your own Crisis at Christmas event over on the charity’s website.
By becoming a sponsored volunteer, you can help even more people out of homelessness. Thanks to your help, Crisis’ guests can enjoy food, a warm bed and vital services, taking a huge first step for people out of homelessness.
Crisis at Christmas is only possible thanks to the generosity of communities across the UK who donate the vital resources that can help people out of homelessness. This Christmas, centres at London, Edinburgh, Newcastle, Birmingham and Coventry are requesting essential supplies such as food and clothing for our guests.
If you’d like to donate a gift, visit a centre in person, or flick through our Amazon wishlists and ship a gift straight to us.
