Christmas Tree Festival in Amersham Raises £4000 for Homeless Prevention Charity
We're delighted to support this great event supporting Wycombe Homeless Connection with help from the team from St Michael and All Angels, Amersham. The Christmas Tree Festival raised £4000 which will go towards helping the homeless in and around Buckinghamshire.
The Wycombe Homeless Connection is about serving the people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness in South Buckinghamshire.
The charity aims to prevent homelessness before it starts, reducing harm for people who are homeless, helping house people who are homeless and defending the rights of people who are homeless or facing homelessness.
They can help people move on from emergency, temporary, unsafe and insecure housing into more permanent homes. They can also help with access to grants and payments for rental arrears and deposits to avoid homelessness.
If you are based in South Buckinghamshire and you are in a situation that could likely lead to being homeless contact Wycombe Homeless Connection for assistance with:
- Free support and legal advice from a housing solicitor
- Help to challenge unfair and illegal evictions
- Help to work with resolving landlord issues
- Free advice on housing-related benefits
- Help access grants and payments to pay rental debt or deposits in order to prevent homelessness
- Help with understanding housing rights
- Support with Court appearances and hearings
- Help to appeal decisions relating to a housing crisis
A spokesperson for the charity said:
"We make sure you know your rights when it comes to your housing and help you make sure you are treated fairly and lawfully. We work with, and challenge, local and national governments to ensure homelessness is brought to an end."
