Did you know that:
- £5 will buy 3 meals for someone who is sleeping rough.
- £10 pays for a bed for the night.
- £25 is what it costs for someone to work with a person struggling with homelessness to help them claim the benefits they are owed and find more long term accommodation.
- £47 pays for emergency accommodation for a week.
You can support us by making a donation or fundraising.
As a charity, regular or one-off donations of money are vital to us continuing our work.
We provide hundreds of hot meals a week, employ specialist members of staff to support clients and all in an environment which is as welcoming as possible.
However, it all costs money – a lot of it!

To donate on a regular basis, email fundraising@huggard.org.uk.
We can also let you know how your gift will be used.
You can also fundraise.
Perhaps you have some ideas of your own, or would like to discuss opportunities with us.
Staff and students from https://www.stdavidscollege.ac.uk/ fundraised with a staff sponsored sleep-out, Christmas jumper day and TikTok dance competition. Their donation will pay for equipment and tuition for our digital inclusion and wider education programme.
We are always looking for new, corporate partnerships and can design bespoke packages to help meet Corporate Social Responsibility commitments.
We also have a number of fundraising opportunities which can be ring-fenced.

- Our Skills and Employment service. Working with Agored Cymru, we are developing a skills programme alongside pathways into work for clients. Getting people into employment is one of the most powerful outcomes for helping individuals out of homelessness. We are establishing a fund to support clients to obtain qualifications and take those first steps into employment.
Laundry facilities are available in the centre, however, we may not see some clients every day and they could require a fresh set of clothing on their next visit. When selecting a new outfit, we want it to be as pleasurable an experience as possible. We hang items up on rails to keep them neat and crease-free and let people choose what they want.
We can only accept toiletries in unopened packaging – ideally travel sized as clients don’t have much storage space, particularly if living on the streets.
We ask that toiletries are unused for two reasons – hygiene and respect for the individual.
Imagine how you’d feel if you were given a stranger’s half used bar of soap or can of deodorant? It certainly wouldn’t make you feel good about yourself!
Thank you for your understanding. Please click here for more details of our current wishlist.
We are very fortunate to have arrangements with Fareshare and other providers to supply us with the fresh and other foodstuff we require. As a result, we rarely accept extra donations of food.
