About
Help The Homeless
Help
The Homeless was founded in 1975 and shortly thereafter launched
its first National Appeal chaired by Sir Robert Mark (the then Commissioner
of the Metropolitan Police) which raised a substantial initial capital
sum. Together with further donations and legacies since then, this capital
has been carefully managed and invested to produce income which is distributed
in the form of grants to charities and voluntary organisations throughout
the UK. Typically, such organisations may operate small or medium-sized
residential or training facilities to assist homelesss people in rebuilding
their lives and finding their way successfully back into society.
Grants
are made four times each year. In most cases the grants are made to
assist in the purchase of capital equipment but in certain cases they
may be made to assist with running costs. Each application is considered
on its merits by the Board of Trustees.
Help
The Homeless is a cost efficient charity with very small overheads,
and so is able to distribute a large proportion of its funds to the
wide range of organisations nationwide that help some of the UK's most
disadvantaged people. Any donation, contribution or legacy will be most
gratefully received; please see our page Supporting
