Frequently asked Questions
Here are our most commonly asked questions. If you still have questions or want more information on the services we offer, do not hesitate to reach out.
How can I donate to help people experiencing homelessness?
Donating is really easy – you can make a one-off donation or sign up to regular giving by joining our group of Stay Friends.
What is the best way to help someone sleeping rough in the UK?
Please don’t underestimate the importance of human connection. Stopping to have a polite chat with someone on the streets, simply saying hello and offering a warm drink or a snack, could mean so much.
What items are most needed by homeless charities?
Sleeping bags, hats, gloves, socks and personal hygiene items like toothpaste, toothbrushes, period products, shower gel, shampoo and first aid kits are always needed. Old mobile phones with chargers are great too, as we give them to people to access help and services.
Our tenants often arrive at their supported accommodation with nothing. Bedding sets, towels, cleaning products and non-perishable food (tins, packets of rice or noodles, biscuits, etc.) are gratefully received, also.
What can I donate that will help Stay and people facing homelessness?
Monetary donations are extremely important. By donating even a small amount to Stay, you will be directly helping local people experiencing or facing homelessness.
You can also donate gifts, which saves us from spending funds which can be used elsewhere. Please see the above question: What items are most needed by homeless charities?
Or you can donate your time or expertise by volunteering.
