Helping Herts Homeless is a registered charity


We are run entirely by volunteers and focus on addressing the problems of homelessness in Hertfordshire.

We raise money through the efforts of our fundraising team along with donations from individuals, businesses and other organisations. We act as a hub linking to & supporting other charities and organisations who are directly involved in alleviating homelessness across the county. We own The Sanctuary building in Hitchin which is managed by One YMCA who provide accommodation and support services to their service users. Our aim is to raise money and awareness of homelessness providing targeted support where it is needed.

Thanks to Laura from Herts Young Homeless for coming along to our AGM this evening. It was great to hear how through education you help prevent homelessness amongst young people. Thanks too to Bernard for talking to us about Black Squirrel Credit Union who also help prevent homelessness by providing low cost loans to people who may not be eligible with other lenders. We have been able to support both charities this year through the generosity of our supporters. Thanks also to The Vic Hitchin for kindly hosting the meeting.
