Welcome to Give Leicester
Give Leicester makes it easy to support people experiencing homelessness and hardship in our city, with a guarantee that every penny you give goes directly to those who need it most.
You’ll find Give Leicester contactless donation points across the city centre, in bars, cafés, shop windows and offices. Simply tap your credit card, debit card, or phone on the contactless point to donate £3 per tap. Every tap makes a difference, and if you’re feeling generous, multiple taps mean multiple donations.
Created by BID Leicester and Leicester City Council, in partnership with the Leicester Homelessness Charter, Give Leicester offers a safe, simple and secure way to give, ensuring your donation goes straight to trusted local charities working to support people experiencing homelessness in Leicester.
Donate Today
Your donation currently supports Open Hands Leicester, a local charity dedicated to providing practical help and hope for individuals and families in need across our city.
Through its city centre Compassion Centre, Open Hands offers food parcels, toiletries, clothing, household essentials, and furniture to those facing hardship. The charity also provides training and development opportunities to help people move towards greater independence, stability, and self-confidence.
Each £3 donation helps Open Hands continue offering vital support, meeting immediate needs while helping people rebuild their lives for the long term.
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
