Donate to stand with families like Grace and Bianca's

£46 could fund 2 webchats, providing essential housing advice

A few years ago, Grace* and her daughter, Bianca*, became homeless and were forced to live in unsafe temporary accommodation.

This really affected Grace and Bianca's mental health. They could barely sleep as their shared bedroom was next to anti-social neighbours.

We worked alongside Grace to show her there was a way out for her and her daughter. Together, we worked to appeal the council's decision to declare Grace as intentionally homeless.

And thankfully in April 2024, Grace and Bianca moved into a safe and secure social home.

No child should have to imagine a safe place to call home

Sadly, over 10,000 children are trapped in temporary accommodation in Scotland.

This isn't right. Every child deserves a safe, permanent home where they can grow, learn and thrive.

Will you stand alongside families like Grace and Bianca's so, together, we can make a change?
