Summer Homeless Campaign 2026
As temperatures rise and summer arrives, the challenges faced by people experiencing homelessness do not disappear. Many continue to struggle with limited access to clean clothing, hygiene facilities, and essential everyday items that most of us take for granted.
In response, Hand on Heart, in partnership with BCT, is launching our Summer Homeless Campaign to provide essential clothing, hygiene supplies, and practical support to rough sleepers, vulnerable individuals, asylum seekers, refugees, and those living in temporary accommodation.
This summer, we aim to support over 1,500 guests through outreach drives and community distributions across 14 towns and cities throughout the UK. Through the distribution of essential packs, Good360 hygiene kits, and pick-and-mix supplies, we will provide clean clothing, toiletries, personal care products, and other necessities that help individuals maintain their dignity, wellbeing, and confidence.
Working alongside local charities, shelters, outreach organisations, and dedicated volunteers, we are ensuring that support reaches those who need it most. Every pack distributed represents more than practical assistance—it is a gesture of compassion, human connection, and hope.
However, we cannot do this alone. With your support, we can continue to provide vital assistance to some of the most vulnerable members of our communities.
Join us this summer in making a meaningful difference. Together, we can restore dignity, spread kindness, and ensure that no one feels forgotten.
What We Need
Donations are essential to help us provide clothing, toiletries, hygiene items, and Good360 Hygiene Kits safely and effectively to over 1,500 guests across the UK.
£20 can provide one Summer Essential Pack.
£60 can support three vulnerable individuals with access to clean clothing and hygiene supplies.
Every donation, no matter the size, helps us reach more people in need.
