Crisis is the national charity for homeless people. We know that homelessness is not inevitable. We know that together we can end it. 

The philanthropy programme at Crisis has flourished in recent years, and we have ambitious plans to grow our income target to £5m per year by 2025. Over the last year, we have seen a rise in six-figure gifts, and have made the decision to recruit a second Senior Philanthropy Lead to the team to help build on this success and grow the upper end of our portfolio and continue to recruit new supporters to Crisis.

We are working to end homelessness in three ways: at the individual level through our life changing services; at a community level with our partners around Great Britain; and at a national policy level with the governments in Wales, Scotland and Westminster. Together Crisis offers a rich array of opportunities for our amazing philanthropists to make a lasting change to the systems and structures that perpetuate homelessness in 21st Century Britain.
