Protect children from the harsh reality of homelessness. Donate today.

£50 could enable a legal adviser to complete an application for legal aid funding

Tonight, over 10,000 children will go to sleep homeless*.

The number of children without a home has more than doubled in the last 10 years. A shocking and harsh reality.

Homelessness today is not always characterised by people sleeping on the streets. Instead, it is children trapped, sometimes for years, in temporary accommodation. Accommodation which is often damp, miserable, and completely unsuitable for anybody, much less a child.

This is not the childhood any parent would want for their child. Unfortunately, love alone can't change this reality. But together, we could.

Your donation could help a family get advice and support.

Together we can fight for housing justice and make the system fairer.

Help protect children from the harsh realities of homelessness.
