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.
Help bring dignity, hygiene and hope to those who are homeless
We’re hoping to raise £10,000 to fund a fully accessible shower and wet room in a local church, offering comfort and dignity to people experiencing homelessness during the colder months.
We can all play a part in eradicating homelessness in the borough

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.
