Your church can help by:

  • Praying regularly for homeless people and for those who are trying to help them. Resources for prayer and activities are produced annually for Homelessness Sunday (last Sunday in January)
  • Collecting for Emergency Support Packs e.g. tinned foodstuffs, basic toiletries and cleaning materials, which are given to young people who have very little money in the short term and are unable to buy food. Each pack that we put together contains approximately £25 worth of goods. We also distribute Christmas Hampers as a special treat.
  • Raising awareness of homelessness by inviting someone from KEY to speak at a service or meeting e.g. on Homelessness Sunday.
  • Encouraging church members to get involved as volunteers. Contact us to find out about the different ways that they can be involved.
  • Making a financial donation to the Bursary Fund which gives small grants to young people for training and education that are not provided through the mainstream. These grants help them get jobs.
