The Wallich
(UK, 1004103) Browse events
YTD Raised: £1,184.00
(UK, 1004103) Established in 1978, The Wallich is a homelessness charity dedicated to helping the most excluded people in our society; vulnerable people with multiple and complex needs who often cannot access any other accommodation or support services. We work together with other agencies and government to deliver innovative solutions to homelessness that are as diverse as the people we help. We help people to find the accommodation and support, which will enable them to live safer, happier and more independent lives. We support over 1000 people a day, employ some 200 people and operate more than 50 projects across 15 Local Authorities in Wales. For those people who are forced to sleep rough, our Rough Sleepers Intervention Teams will provide a hot breakfast and help to get off the streets. If poor mental health or drink and/or drug use is ruining a person’s life, one of our specialist supported accommodation projects will help them find stability. If someone is in danger of losing their home due to family breakdown, debt or health problems, our Tenancy Support Services will try to prevent them from becoming homeless. If renting a home is impossible due to lack of a deposit, our Bond Board Schemes will provide people who need help with a bond and secure them a place to live away from expensive and unstable temporary accommodation. The Wallich has succesfully housed many who have been street homeless, helped those with severe social problems and supported many people in rebuilding their lives after experiencing homelessness.

Deptford Reach
(UK, 1086143) Browse events
YTD Raised: £1,142.50Join us to make Deptford Reach’s Homes for the Homeless Project a reality. Deptford Reach has been granted planning permission to develop the current site in Deptford, South East London to create a self-sustainable building including 21 units for accommodation. These 1 bedroom flats will provide much needed accommodation as we support and prepare our clients to move on, whilst helping to reduce rough sleeping within the borough. The project has been estimated to cost £3m and there is no better time to start fundraising than now! Pictures of Future Plans for Deptford Reach A message from the Trustees of Deptford Reach Deptford Reach is not a wealthy charity. At the beginning of each year we face the prospect of having to raise around £250,000 just to keep our doors open and services running. A small portion comes from statutory sources but the vast majority is raised from charitable trusts and foundations and from individual donations. The need to find this sort of money year in year out puts great strain on the organisation and in the longer term it is not sustainable. However we have one significant advantage over other charities in similar positions in that we own our own building and our own land. The Trustees of Deptford Reach have been considering the development of our site for some years. Our building is old and in need of considerable modernisation. It is also too small and restrictive. As a consequence we are now ready to proceed with an exciting project not only to give Deptford Reach long term financial stability but also to provide vital affordable housing and a stepping stone to help homeless people improve their lives. Our plans will give us a brand new day centre to continue providing our core services but also, on 3 upper floors, 22 one bedroom flats. 21 of these will be homes for homeless people and one for our new caretaker. The Deptford Reach Homes for the Homeless Project will take genuinely homeless people off Lewisham’s streets or out of their squats and provide them with safe, secure, affordable accommodation at Deptford Reach. Our aim is to limit any individual’s stay to around 6 months but during this vital period they can stabilise their lives, access our services and receive our help to move on into education, work and ultimately their own accommodation in the private rented sector. At the same time Deptford Reach will receive the rental income from 21 flats and this will provide vital income towards our annual running costs. We estimate that the rebuilding project will take 18 months to complete and cost £3m. Plans are already underway to raise the capital needed from a number of different sources and during the building of the new centre we will relocate to another local site and ensure that most of our vital services can continue uninterrupted. We urge you to support our Homes for the Homeless Project. It will undoubtedly help improve the lives of thousands of people in the coming years, it will give Deptford Reach financial security and it will address some of the most critical social issues facing Britain today. The Trustees of Deptford Reach About Deptford Reach Deptford Reach is a drop-in centre for adults over 16 years of age. We help people rebuild lives that have been affected by homelessness, mental illness, drug or alcohol abuse and social exclusion. From our centre in London SE8, we offer a wide range of support, advice, training and practical help. We believe in respect and individual support. Deptford in South East London is one of the most deprived districts anywhere in the UK with very high levels of social exclusion.
