Help for homeless people
Bastille are supporting Streets of London's #ComeOnHome campaign, which is raising vital funds to help homeless people off the streets.
Recent figures show that rough sleeping has risen by more than a third in London in the last year, so help for homeless people is needed more than ever right now.
The cost-of-living crisis is pushing more and more people into homelessness, with rising prices forcing people who have never slept rough before onto the streets for the first time.
By entering this special prize draw you will be in with a chance of winning a brilliant prize and at the same time helping to raise vital funds to support homeless people.

Bastille have donated a pair of tickets to see them in New York - including a meet & greet with the band - to this prize draw fundraising campaign. Also included in the prize is money to buy return flights from London to New York for two, plus 3 nights' hotel accommodation in NYC!

About Streets of London
Streets of London (registered charity number 1155242) funds specialist support for people who are homeless in London, and raises awareness about the issue. We make grants each year to fund homelessness projects across the capital.
Using our knowledge of the sector, we target funding to projects where we know the money will make a real difference, so that homeless people have the support they need to get back on their feet and leave homelessness behind for good.
Since 2015, Streets of London has provided more than £750,000 of vital funding to the homeless sector in London, funding some fantastic projects that offer life-changing support to people experiencing homelessness.
To learn more about the projects the charity supports, visit Streets of London's website.
Where is the money going?
All funds raised from this prize draw will support Streets of London's work tackling homelessness in the capital, funding vital immediate help for homeless people as well as longer-term support so that people can escape the streets for good.
We fund a wide variety of projects each year (typically with a grant of £15,000 per project) that provide a range of support to homeless people including:
- Day centres - meeting people's immediate needs, such as food, a hot shower, laundry, medical facilities, emergency night shelter for vulnerable sleepers
- Housing advice and support to help people find emergency accommodation and secure longer-term housing
- Projects that help people to build their employability, skills and self-confidence, and help with looking for jobs
- Mental and physical healthcare and support for complex needs: eg mental health support, support for alcohol addiction, substance use
- Projects that provide ongoing support to people once they're in a place of their own, and help to develop independent living skills
One of the projects the charity has helped to fund is a catering skills course for people experiencing homelessness:
- The programme gives homeless people the opportunity to develop the skills they need to begin a career in catering.
- Work can often be the securest route out of homelessness. A job can provide someone not only with money to live on, but also meaningful occupation, a restored sense of self-esteem, belonging and a social network.
- Comprising a mix of practical cookery classes, barista training and life-skills, the aim of the course it to help people get into paid employment. Graduates can receive recognised qualifications.
- All graduates automatically qualify for a three-week paid work placement with a local restaurant, boosting their chances of successfully landing a job.
Every £15,000 raised as a result of the #ComeOnHome prize draw will allow Streets of London to provide vital funding to another amazing project such as this, that provides such an important life-line to the people it helps.
Thank you for your support.
The impact of your support
With the right support, people who have experienced homelessness can turn their lives around. It can have a huge impact on someone's life.
Will, who has benefitted from one of the projects supported by the charity, has this to say about how things have changed for him:
"The difference is unbelievable, you know, when I went in there, I didn't want to live. If I had the guts to kill myself, I would have... When I went out of there, I felt confident about my life, hopeful about my life. Yeah. it's changed my life. Saved my life, 100%".
