Four ways Crisis is ending homelessness in Wales | Crisis UK How we’re helping people facing homelessness in South Wales access private rented homes, alongside the TDS Charitable Foundation

Interested to find out more? Here are four ways we’re working with TDS Charitable Foundation to help people facing homelessness in South Wales secure private rented accommodation: bit.ly/4tkbDU0

“Being there when someone picks up the keys to their new home is the best part of my job.” 🏡

Jo, whose role is funded by TDS Charitable Foundation, is a Landlord Liaison Officer at Crisis, helping people facing homelessness find quality private-rented homes.

Here's a day in her life...

🏡 Last, and definitely not least, a huge thank you to Lloyds Banking Group for unlocking an additional £6.9 million in unclaimed funds to support Crisis with the first step of our new venture – buying and managing homes for the people we support.

💻 Over 25,000 Lloyds Banking Group colleagues have taken our ‘Understanding Homelessness’ training module, giving them the tools and insight to champion an end to homelessness. Our Crisis Skylights are also collaborating with Lloyds branches to help them best support vulnerable customers. 🙌

🙋Over 10,000 volunteer hours contributed by
Lloyds Banking Group colleagues in our Crisis Skylights, Christmas hotels, warehouse, shops, and as Changing Lives mentors since April 2023.

🪴 The launch of Good Place Lettings, supported by Lloyds Banking Group and Homes for Good in Scotland. This innovative social lettings agency works to make the private rental market more accessible and affordable for those who need it most.

📚 Over 220 Changing Lives grants funded through the partnership. Lloyds Banking Group colleagues also volunteer as mentors, supporting our Crisis members as they take their next steps out of homelessness and into work or education.

🚶Thousands of miles covered by Lloyds Banking Group colleagues in UK City Walk events – plus treks in Iceland, the Sahara, and Mount Toubkal – raising £2 million from these activities alone.

We want to shine a spotlight on one of our incredible partners,
Lloyds Banking Group! Not only have they extended their partnership with us for another two years, but they've raised £5m to support Crisis and Simon Community Northern Ireland so far🙌

When we have the foundation of a home from which to build a healthy life, we can contribute more to society.

We can do better in our work.

Our children can do better in school.

Why do we all have a responsibility to end homelessness?

Because making sure everyone has a safe and stable home benefits us all.
