This Christmas we are proud to be fundraising for Peter McVerry Trust. Peter McVerry Trust is a national housing and homeless charity committed to reducing homelessness and the harm caused by substance misuse and social disadvantage. The charity provides low‑threshold entry services, primarily to younger people and vulnerable adults with complex needs, and offers pathways out of homelessness.
