Christmas Mission HO HO HOPE

CHRISTMAS MISSION HO HO HOPE

Team BACKUP want to ensure no children or young people are homeless, especially at Christmas. We want to provide live changing support, food to ensure they aren't hungry, fuel to keep them warm, essentials and gifts for them to unwrap, for some - the only gift they may receive.

 As we look ahead to the festive season, our mission is to spread some much needed happiness and hope to the homeless children and young people we support.

 To join our mission, see below ways you can be involved. The kindness and generosity of our supporters will make a massive difference and help us change lives of young people.

What We Do!

BACKUP provide multiple services across Bolton to young people aged 16-25 years who are homeless, or at risk of homelessness. Read here about all the supported accommodation which includes emergency housing, temporary accommodation, short and medium stay supported housing. Also the non accommodation based support work that focusses on mental health, employment support and much more.

Young people can live in more than one Backup service as they make progress and develop more independence prior to moving on completely. The different services are designed to meet various levels and ranges of needs.

Our Events

Every year Backup delivers multiple events for fundraising. Each one is designed to raise awareness and much needed money to support young people who are homeless. Annually we have our core events; Gala Ball, Golf Day and Ladies Lunch. We also have other events that are different each year so that we can have a wider appeal to all.
