HELP

As well as donating 10% to our chosen charity Childrens Cancer Unit Charity, we are aiming to provide Bivvy Bags & Shelters to the homeless throughout the UK and Ireland.

Statistics show that the majority of people facing homelessness are 25-65 years old. Despite this, homelessness can affect anyone, no matter what their age. A report by Shelter suggests that 183 children sadly lose their homes every single day, with an alarmingly high number of 126,000 children estimated to be currently homeless. Undergoing the stress and trauma of homelessness at such a young age can be extremely difficult. Moreover, these children are far more likely to experience mental health issues in the future. 

In 2020, there were an estimated 688 homeless deaths in England and Wales. Even more worryingly, the average life expectancy among those experiencing homelessness was 45.9 years for a male and 41.6 years for a female. These shocking statistics, provided by ONS, indicate just how dangerous sleeping rough can be. From mental health, through to physical health, homelessness takes its toll on so many.
