Editors’ Notes 

In 2012/13 there were 113,260 households in England who approached their local council as homeless, an 11% increase over two years. 

Rough sleeping numbers in England have also risen 31 per cent in two years. In London where rough sleeping is at its highest, 6,437 people slept rough last year. 

 

Crisis

Crisis is the national charity for single homeless people. Our purpose is to endhomelessness. 

Homelessness is devastating, leaving people vulnerable and isolated.  We believe everyone deserves a place to call home and the chance to live a fulfilled and active life. 

Crisis helps people rebuild their lives through housing, health, education and employment services. We work with thousands of homeless people across the UK and have ambitious plans to work with many more. 

We work with homeless people in nine centres in eight regions across the UK. Last year we worked with over 6,000 people, awarded 2,108 qualifications, supported 376 people into work, and found homes for a further 3,000.

Crisis at Christmas

Crisis at Christmas is a vital lifeline for thousands of homeless people. We offer support and companionship during the holiday period and help people to take their first steps out of homelessness. Crisis at Christmas is made possible through the generosity of thousands of individuals and companies who donate money, time, skills, goods and services. Crisis at Christmas not only provides immediate help for homeless people at a critical time, but it sets them up for a more positive year ahead. Guests receive healthcare and specialist advice on housing, work and benefits. We encourage guests to take up the life changing opportunities on offer at our Crisis Skylight centres in the New Year ahead.
