Homelessness is rising and demand for our services continues to grow
More people are being pushed into homelessness. More people are being left without support.
At Changing Lives, we walk alongside people through some of the most challenging circumstances. We’re there at the point of crisis and we stay for as long as it takes, supporting people to build stable, safe, and fulfilling lives.
The people we support face the complexities of homelessness such as rough sleeping, sexual exploitation, addiction, abuse, poor mental health, contact with the criminal justice system: often several of these at once.
Our job is to see the whole person, not just the presenting problem, and to provide the kind of consistent, expert support that makes lasting change possible.

£500

£1000
could support someone moving into their own home, covering essential costs and providing the guidance they need to settle in safely.
We run over 120 projects across England.
We support around 14,000 people each year through recovery, housing, employment, and the criminal justice system.
93% of the people we support have positive outcomes.
That is what happens when our support is consistent, expert, and built on trust over time.
One in five of our staff have lived experience.
They have been where the people we support are now, and understand what that means. This is not distant work. It is felt, every single day.
Ruth’s Story
Ruth’s story shows the life-changing impact of community support.
When Ruth first came to us in Doncaster, she was looking for help during a difficult time. With the right support and encouragement, she began volunteering with the Hub, giving back to the community that had helped her.
Today, Ruth is a valued member of our team, supporting others on their own journeys towards hope, confidence and independence.
Your support makes stories like Ruth’s possible. By donating to Changing Lives, you help people access the support they need to rebuild their lives and create a brighter future.
