AS one of the UK’s largest homelessness charities, we want to let Guardian readers know about how they can help people who are homeless by supporting St Mungo’s new campaign, Save Hostels Rebuild Lives.

 

St Mungo’s is asking people to sign a petition that urges the Government to think again on plans that will reform the way that hostels for homeless people are funded, potentially leaving vulnerable people at risk of rough sleeping.

A Government Green Paper, due to be published this spring, will outline how supported housing projects will be funded in the future and the St Mungo’s petition is urging the Government to ensure that services are not put at further risk in this latest funding change.

Our St Mungo’s vision is that everyone has a place to call home and can fulfil their hopes and ambitions.

We provide a bed and support to 2,500 people a night who are homeless or at risk, and work to prevent homelessness.
