How our advice has helped

Preventing Clare's home from being repossessed

Clare contacted us when she was weeks away from repossession after falling into mortgage arrears on a home that was no longer affordable. 

She had experienced tragedy in her life that had resulted in her being unable to work, and therefore unable to pay for her home. 

We successfully helped her navigate the courts, we talked with her lender and we advised her so that she did not lose her home.

Make a donation

Donate to support our work towards our vision - when everyone has a home

Every donation no matter how big or small makes a difference

We could all experience housing problems at some time. Relationship breakdown, being made redundant, or falling ill can all have a big impact on someone’s housing situation. Every year we help thousands of people to find solutions to their housing problems. Demand for our service is increasing, more people than ever really need our help.  A  donation will help us to help others.  

Donating £20 will help us to attend court to support a family facing eviction to save their home.
