“Even in the 21st century, homeless people who ask their council for help are being turned away to sleep on the streets – cold, desperate and forgotten. This is nothing short of a scandal.”

Giving Hands is a charity for homeless people. We are dedicated to ending homelessness by delivering life-changing services and campaigning for change.

Our aims are:

• We want to do more for more homeless people in more places across the UK and help to change their lives for good.
• We want to change the way society thinks and acts towards homeless people

One of the best ways to help a homeless person is to show them respect. As you look into their eyes, talk to them with genuine interest, and recognize their value as an individual, you will give them a sense of dignity that they rarely experience.

Giving is another great way to help, however, don’t give money directly to the homeless. Cash gifts are often used to buy drugs and alcohol. Instead, make your  donations to Giving Hands, who are dedicated to ending homelessness by delivering life changing services and campaigning for change.
