Why it matters

According to Shelter, the number of people living in temporary and emergency accommodation has risen by an alarming 74% in the last 10 years. While national data shows that the number of children in temporary and emergency accommodation is at its highest point in history.

The impact is far reaching. An extensive survey by Shelter revealed that 63% of people say that living in temporary accommodation had a negative impact on their health, 51% say it has negatively affected their physical health and 39% say that living in temporary accommodation has made it harder to access healthcare appointments.

Your contributions will help the Foundation and those living in temporary and emergency accommodation to address the challenges they’re facing. Through personal and project grants, we can touch and improve the lives of people facing uncertain futures.

If you are able to help the Foundation provide further support to people living in temporary and emergency accommodation, then please visit our Donate page.

Thank you,

The Stef & Philips Foundation Team
