Fine & Country Foundation
(UK, 1160989) Browse events
YTD Raised: £1,345.00The Fine & Country Foundation has been created to help combat one of the largest social issues in the UK – homelessness. Last year, the Government estimated around 2,414 people sleep on the street on any one night across England, a rise of 36% over three years. Often the reasons for homelessness are misunderstood, with many blaming the individuals for poor life decisions and carelessness. The reality is: people become homeless for a whole range of complex and overlapping reasons that cannot be avoided, such as family breakdowns, mental or physical health problems or debts. Solving homelessness does not only involve putting a roof over people’s heads, it is also trying to tackle the root of the problem and asking the question: why did they became homeless in the first place? The Fine & Country Foundation is dedicated to bringing together all Fine & Country agents in over 275 locations worldwide to raise awareness of the causes of homelessness whilst supporting homeless charities.

We are an independent charity, relying on funding from grants and donations. In the year 2013 we saw 7,259 clients and dealt with 12,489 issues. Generally clients came to us with more than one issue (showing that we are a trusted provider of advice on many subject areas). All areas of advice are covered to a general level with dominant enquiry areas including debt, welfare benefits, housing and employment. We have two main bureaux, in New Addington and South Norwood and run the advice service from both bureaux. We also have a help desk in the foyer of the new Croydon Council offices. As well as general advice, we offer in-depth casework to those living with cancer (thanks to Macmillan funding) and we also run financial capability classes which have provided over 300 Croydon residents with information on how to draw up a household budget, manage money and choose cheap utility packages. The aim of these sessions is to give people the knowledge they need to avoid debt becoming a factor in their lives. We are raising funds in order to continue to provide advice and improve access to our services for people who live and/or work in Croydon.
