Rough sleeping is awful at any time of the year, but more so during the winter months. If you want to help make a real difference to someone rough sleeping this winter, please consider  making a donation to the Islington Giving Homeless Catalyst Fund

The fund will provide small grants of up to £500 directly to people sleeping on the streets, or who have a recent history of rough sleeping in Islington.  This includes people who Islington Council have supported into accommodation but continue to work with – people in hostels and temporary accommodation from rough sleeping.

Every single penny given will go to people in need, and grants will be tailored towards the individuals needs and aspirations.
