This Christmas Eve, 248 people in Kent will go to sleep with just one wish: to make it through the night.

That’s the harsh reality of being homeless at Christmas. Every night spent on the streets is a risk to your life — and not everyone will wake up in the morning.

If you do make it through the night, you'll spend Christmas Day freezing cold, desperately hungry and totally alone. All you’ve got is your sleeping bag and the clothes you slept in.

Imagine how it feels to know everyone is celebrating while you’re sitting in wet clothes with the cold seeping into your bones. It’s a bleak reminder that you’ve been forgotten.

Your gift could give someone their first hot drink in days, or fund an outreach session to help someone take their first step away from a life on the streets.

Winter is fast approaching. Without your help, people and their pets living on the streets right now might not survive.

Nobody chooses to be homeless, but we can choose to do something about it.

Your gift could save a life. Or two.

Let's show people who are homeless in Kent this Christmas that they haven't been forgotten.
