Tackling homelessness together

Basingstoke and Deane Social Inclusion Partnership

Through the Basingstoke and Deane Social Inclusion Partnership we’re working together to end homelessness in the borough. 

The partnership was formed in 2015 to develop a community-led response to homelessness through a partnership approach. It brings together a range of specialist, voluntary, statutory, faith and community groups all working to reduce homelessness in the borough together, along with those with lived experience.

Through the Real Change campaign, the partnership has raised over £60,000 for homelessness charities and initiatives in the borough, and seen thousands of volunteer hours given and countless donations of clothes, food and toiletries collected.

Homelessness is preventable and our goal is to eradicate homelessness in the borough.

Walking for Real Change campaign

This September, join us in Walking for Real Change – a month-long challenge to walk in support of people experiencing homelessness in Basingstoke and Deane. 

We can all play a part in eradicating homelessness in the borough

Where can i get help?

If you are homeless or think you will become homeless contact Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council via hpos@basingstoke.gov.uk phoning 01256 844844 or visiting the council offices

Make a report

If you think you’ve spotted someone sleeping rough in the borough, help them access the right support by making a report though Streetlink. It's the best way to ensure they can get help quickly

Donate money

By donating money to the Real Change Not Loose Change campaign you're helping to support homeless people to access the support they need to get off the streets and help rebuild their lives.

Raise funds

Bringing people together is a great way to raise both funds and awareness. There are a lot of inventive and fun ways to get involved, whether it’s with your colleagues, family or friends.

Raise awareness

We can all help end the stigma surrounding homelessness and sometimes a simple conversation is a great starting point. There are lots of myths surrounding homelessness. Help combat these.

Learn more

Keep up to date and fully informed about the work being done to eradicate homelessness in the borough, and learn more about events, fundraising initiatives and more via our News page.

Donate your time to local homelessness charities, services or local groups and organisations either via Basingstoke Voluntary Action or by contacting charities direct.

Donate items

Homelessness charities and organisations need food, toiletries and clothing. Find out what is needed by contacting the charities direct or get updates on the Real Change Twitter and Facebook

During September, people from across the borough joined us in Walking for Real Change, putting one foot in front of the other to help us reach our goal of £10,000 to build a fully accessible shower and wet room in a local church. #WalkingforRealChange #EveryMileMatters

There’s still time to join us in #WalkingForRealChange this September. We’re calling on the borough to walk in support of people experiencing homelessness.
