Story
It will take the efforts of many to solve the current situation, we have now housed 150 in approximately 30 shelters, as winter approaches. Our target is to build 100 by Christmas.
We are a team of friends including Mark Arrigo, Ben Guillespie, Sampson Rinaldi pls numerous others and many others to build homes for people. They cost approximately £300 to build including a corrugated tin roof. This initial fundraising is to build the first 40 shelters, and will be a direct positive influence.

9 years agoThank-you all so much! Your donations have helped to create over 100 shelters so far! We need your help to do more. We are now a charitable fund and can therefore claim gift aid on your donations. For each pound you have donated HMRC will give us an extra 25p, which makes a huge difference. If you’d like to help just follow these steps: Send an email to ahomeforwinter@prismthegiftfund.co.uk containing the following: 1. Your name, address and postcode 2. The date and amount you donated (this is in your JustGiving account) 3. Copy and paste the paragraph below I confirm that I have paid or will pay an amount of Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax for each tax year (6 April to 5 April) that is at least equal to the amount of tax that all the charities or Community Amateur Sports Clubs (CASCs) that I donate to will reclaim on my gifts for that tax year. I am happy for Prism The Gift Fund to claim Gift Aid on this and all future cash donations unless otherwise notified Thanks again!
