Jack's story *
Jack spent 15 years working as a chef but during the pandemic, he lost everything.
“I was left with no job, no home, no nothing"
But with the support of HARP, Jack back on track. He has a somewhere to call home, and is even working for us now! Jack's role is to prepare meals for people like him who fell on tough times.
“My life has drastically changed for the better since I walked into HARP. I’m not sure where I’d be today without them.”

For many of the people we support, Christmas is a lonely and isolating time. Many have lost contact with their friends and family. We're doing everything we can to support them, but your message can show them someone out there (a stranger like you!) does care.
Every item in this store represents meals and emergency support provided by HARP in Essex. We see immense demand for our services all year round, especially at Christmas time when the streets are freezing cold. Your donation (and any Gift Aid contribution) will help us provide hot meals, emergency accommodation, and vital support to people in need. To ensure we can respond to urgent needs as they arise, we may allocate funds across our meal and emergency support services where they're needed most. Whatever happens, we promise that 100% of your donation will be used to help people experiencing homelessness in Essex.
We don't have the resource to track every gift - but if you opt into phone and or email contact we'll provide an update on your impact.
