Too many people in Kent are sleeping rough this Christmas.

You can help someone off the streets.

Donate now

No one should have to sleep in a tent, doorway or stairwell as temperatures fall.

Tonight, people across Kent and Medway will face the cold without a safe place to call home.

They will be exposed to danger, uncertainty and freezing weather - with no door to close and no bed to sleep in.

You gift can change what happens next.

If you’ve ever walked past someone sleeping rough at Christmas and wanted to help, this is your chance

Your donation can help make sure they are safe, seen and supported.

216 people were recorded sleeping rough in Kent and Medway this year.* The true number is likely much higher.

Your gift could help our teams reach someone in crisis with food, a warm drink, clean clothes and emergency shelter. Then we can stay by their side, helping them find a safe home-and keep it.

Give before 5 December and double your impact

Thanks to generous support from Alec & Pat Pelmore and the Redbreast Trust, donations made before 5 December will be matched up to a total value of £30,000.

Donate today and help twice as many people move towards safety.

More than 50 years of helping people home

For more than 50 years, Porchlight has supported people facing homelessness across Kent and Medway. We know how to find people, earn their trust and get the right help to them fast.
