Support Street Connect this Christmas
by giving to
Our Big Christmas Give
Open for donations from the 3rd – 10th Dec
Double your money & double your impact
In partnership with local churches, we help people break free and stay free from addiction.
It’s so amazing to see lives changed:
I came to the recovery hub broken and caught up in Cocaine addiction. Life was a real mess. I couldn’t see a way out.
Street Connect supported me & sent me to rehab. Now I am hopeful for the future. I feel I have a new life. I’m about to begin an apprenticeship after finishing college.”
Here’s how you can help us reach even more people
We’re very privileged to have the support of 3 different organisations who have pledged to give us a total of £8,000 – BUT on condition we raise another £8,000 during Big Give week.
Every pound you donate releases a pound in match funding, doubling your donation. That means you’re doubling the impact of your gift too!
There’s 2 ways you can help us do that:
- Donate your personal gift during Big Give week: 3rd – 10th December, noon to noon
- Put on a fundraising event now and donate the proceeds then
Are you up for the challenge?

Ruth's Ladies
I’ve been a project worker with Street Connect now for 6 months and have around 10 ladies who are engaging with me in terms of one-to-one support. What I have come to realise is that sometimes it’s the ‘small wins and the baby steps’ that we need to hold onto.

The Power of Connection
I have learned the importance of connecting and interacting with everyone we encounter on the streets. One woman said “Why are you offering me a leaflet?” but she then met with a friend at the school gates and the friend took the leaflet and said, “I know someone who could use this.”
