Welcome to Give Leicester

Give Leicester is a way to donate money to help address homelessness in Leicester, with a guarantee that your money goes towards supporting people who are, or have recently been, homeless in the city.

You’ll find Give Leicester donation points at locations all over the city centre, including bars, cafes, shop windows, offices, and both university campuses. Just tap your credit card, debit card or phone to the contactless point in the middle of the vinyl window to donate £3 per tap. If you’re feeling generous, multiple taps make multiple payments.

The project, set up by BID Leicester and Leicester City Council working in partnership with Leicester Homelessness Charter, is designed to help make helping people who are homeless easy and secure by enabling donations directly to charities through contactless giving points.

Donate Today

Your donation will go to Help the Homeless Leicester, providing relief and assistance to those facing homelessness or rough sleeping in Leicester and the surrounding areas. The organisation’s approach includes giving material aid, signposting to services, housing and employment support, emergency accommodations, and ongoing assistance for individuals after securing housing. The charity also aims to boost self-esteem, empower individuals, and encourage independent living through trusted relationships.

Leicester Homelessness Charter

Leicester Homelessness Charter

Leicester Homelessness Charter aims to improve the way organisations and individuals work together to tackle homelessness in the city, and to harness the enthusiasm of those who want to get involved but don’t know how. The charter provides a vision, values and principles that can be shared by all of those working to prevent homelessness in the city, and to support those affected by it. It aims to reduce duplication, improve communication between those working with homeless people, and to raise awareness of services and how the public can help.

The Charter can be found at https://leicesterhomelessnesscharter.co.uk
