Over Christmas many of the usual services are closed or run a limited service, so it can be difficult for people who are homeless to know where to get support over the holiday period.

We have gathered together the information from local services in one place to make it easier for someone who is homeless to know where they can go to get warm, have a meal, get support, advice and company.

You can help by downloading and printing the timetable to offer to anyone that you meet that is homeless and might need somewhere to go over Christmas and New Year.

Download the timetable here: McrChristmasTimetable2016 (*new version with map)

Many people who are homeless welcome human connection, so if you are nervous about starting a conversation, there are some tips here: How should i start a conversation with someone who is homeless?

Please also consider making a donation to support people to start the new year with a chance of a better life away from the streets through Big Change. All profits go directly to fund items that individuals need – from a deposit for a flat, to transport costs, furniture, clothes for an interview, or training courses.
