Hey kids!
Do you want to be a super helper in your community? You can! The Julian Trust helps people who don’t have a home or need a little help, and there are fun ways you and your family can make a difference.
You don’t need to be a grown-up to help - every little thing you do can make someone’s day brighter!
What is Homelessness?
Sometimes people don’t have a safe place to live. This is called homelessness. It can mean:
-
Sleeping outside on the street.
-
Staying in a shelter.
-
Living in a place that isn’t safe or warm.
It can happen for many reasons - maybe someone lost their job, got sick, or had a tough time in life.
At the Julian Trust, we help by:
-
Giving people hot meals
-
Providing a warm, safe space
-
Offering kindness and support
We believe everyone deserves care, food, and friendship.

-
Non-school uniform day: Donate £1 and wear your own clothes for a day.
-
Food collection: Bring in cans, pasta, or other long-life foods to help people who need it most.
Your school can make a huge difference, and it’s a fun way to get everyone involved!
