Winter isn’t over. The need for safe homes continues.
Many of us take warmth, comfort and safety for granted. But as winter deepens and freezing nights continue, far too many people are still without a safe place to sleep, a warm meal or a stable home. With homelessness rising across the UK, we are committed to helping people secure and keep a home through emergency grants, frontline support and vital services and we urgently need your help this winter.
Donate today to help more people like Gary find a place to call home this winter.

Read MoreWho we are
St Martin-in-the-Fields Charity is a homelessness charity that works UK-wide and year-round. Our vision is for everyone to have a safe place to call home and the support they need to keep it.
What we do
To achieve our vision we work in three key areas: We help individuals directly into new accommodation through the provision of grants, we support and champion frontline workers and capture and share learning based on their insight and experiences and we test, develop and share solutions to key issues and build support for them with the public and policy makers.
Why we do it
It’s deeply concerning that so many people in the UK are experiencing homelessness. Safe, affordable housing should be accessible to everyone, and everyone deserves a place to call home. With your support, we can work to achieve that reality.
