This Christmas, we want to do more than just support people into homes.
We want to remind them — and others who are often forgotten — that they are seen, loved, and not alone.
At Housing Advisor, we work year-round with people facing housing insecurity — from families in temporary accommodation, to individuals on the brink of homelessness, to those living in unsuitable or unsafe permanent housing.
But this Christmas, we're turning our focus to those who won’t have four walls around them at all.
Those who will be rough sleeping.
Those who will be elderly and completely alone.
Those who feel like the world has forgotten them.
🎁 Our Mission:
We are pledging to serve 1,000 hot, lovingly prepared meals on Christmas Day to:
-
People currently rough sleeping on the streets
-
The elderly who would otherwise spend the day alone
-
Others in critical need during the festive season
This isn’t just about food.
It’s about giving people a moment of dignity, a sense of warmth, and the kind of Christmas where they can feel:
-
Seen
-
Cared for
-
Appreciated
-
And above all, not judged
🍽️ Each person will receive:
-
A hot meal (rice, chicken or vegetarian option, salad)
-
Dessert
-
Bottled water and a fizzy drink
-
A takeaway sandwich meal for the next day
-
All carefully packaged with utensils, napkins, and love

Your donation will go directly toward the food, packaging, transport, and logistics needed to make this vision possible.
Let’s come together to make Christmas Day unforgettable for the right reasons.
Together, we can show people they matter. Not because of where they live — but because they’re human.
