Imagine having no choice but to spend the night outside in the freezing cold weather with no fresh food, water or clothing to keep you warm...

This is the reality for thousands. Winter is a dangerous time for the homeless as they are constantly exposed to cold temperatures, which can lead to hyperthermia and frostbite. These can be life threatening.

Simple things like having a warm meal, jumping into a warm bed is hard to achieve for the homeless, making survival a daily struggle.

This Christmas, you can help Falcon Support Services provide warmth, safety, and companionship to people experiencing homelessness or isolation.

Help us reach our target of £20,000 so we can make sure no one is left cold or alone this festive season: https://falconsupportservices.enthuse.com/cf/give-the-gift-of-home

10 Practical Ways to Save Money This Christmas! ⛄❄️

Imagine waking up on Christmas with no presents under the tree? feeling alone and having no one to celebrate with?

Christmas can be a hard time for those without much money. This is because of the pressure to spend money on gifts, food and decorations. The holidays also amplify feelings of isolation, which can worsen mental health.

Find out how to enjoy Christmas this year without breaking the bank!

Falcon Support Services have been helping the homeless and those in need across Leicestershire for over 20 years.

With winter approaching, we’re helping our residents save money and stay warm this Christmas - especially when they move on to their own home - Give The Gift of Home.

This week, residents and staff joined a hands-on sustainability session at The Life Hub to create draft excluders from recycled materials -a simple, fun way to cut energy bills and reduce waste.

The session was led by Jason Hamilton, Falcon's Energy Expert, with support from Community Manager Matt Taylor, Loughborough University Sustainability Team and amazing volunteers.

Thank you to Low Woods Furnishing for supplying the materials for us to create draft excluders, which will benefit service users moving into their own properties.

Thanks to the Get Ready Community Energy Fund from Innovate UK via Leicestershire County Council, we’re strengthening our sustainability and energy efficiency initiatives and building lasting partnerships through CEPathways.

We plan to run this as a monthly winter event—supporting residents, reducing energy costs, and promoting greener living.

Huge thanks to everyone involved!

They are going to send out details of the campaign to shops and let us know who is interested in taking it forward. Look out for social media, and assets on our channels and in shops. Love Loughborough
