The cost of living crisis is only making homelessness worse.

The initial idea of The Spag Bol Project was to get people to commit to spend less money on food and drink at Christmas, even swapping roast turkey for spaghetti Bolognese (hence the name) and donate some or all the money saved by not overindulging, to one of our partner charities.

However, we are all aware that homelessness is not just a problem at Christmas time but all year round and with prices still on the rise, more people than ever are at risk of losing their homes.

We are all guilty of unnecessary spending, for example having subscriptions we don’t use or buying too many take-outs or designer coffees. All we ask if for you to donate some of the money you have saved by cutting back on unnecessary spending to our partner charities to help those who are in the most need.
