Situation
320,000 people were recorded as homeless in Britain (March 2018, Shelter Analysis). This is equivalent to 36 new people becoming homeless every day. The average age of death for homeless people is just 44 for men, and 42 for women (2018, ONS). Estimates suggest that nearly a third of homeless people die from treatable conditions, meaning hundreds of deaths could potentially have been prevented. (2018, Bureau of Investigative Journalism)
Solution
Your donation will enable Alabaré to bring people in from the cold, give them a hot meal, support and understanding, and hope for a better future. We have 58 homes across our region supporting up to 337 homeless and vulnerable people at any one time. During severe weather we also provide additional crisis beds for rough sleepers. The provision of high quality homes, training and support give residents the chance to focus on their recovery, and gain skills and knowledge to help them live successful independent lives in the future, breaking the cycle of homelessness for good.
