2025 Christmas Appeal - https://forward-housing.raiselysite.com/
The holiday season is a time of joy for many, but for too many people it comes with loneliness, hardship, and uncertainty. This year, we want to ensure that no one supported by Forward spends December without hope. Our 2025 Christmas Appeal is officially live - and every donation, big or small, will make a real difference.

Why Your Support Matters
At The Forward Trust, we believe in second chances. We give people recovering from addiction, escaping cycles of crime, or rebuilding after homelessness, the tools to rebuild their lives. This Christmas, your generosity will help us offer practical essentials - from bedding to kitchenware - that bring warmth, comfort, and dignity to a fresh start. You can help someone feel safe in a place they can truly call home.
A Story of Change
Every person we support has a story and behind every story is a profound need for compassion. After a battle with addiction and offending, Lindsey found a safe space with The Forward Trust, got back on her feet with the support of our dedicated Recovery Housing team, and is now reunited with her children and preparing to celebrate Christmas. Your donation helps create more stories like Lindsey’s.
