Jean Collingwood CEO added: "We are delighted to support Crisis in this exciting and highly innovative fundraising initiative. Many people become homeless as a result of dependency on alcohol and by working together our two charities hope to make young people aware of the consequences of alcohol misuse in order to help prevent dependency and the possibility of homelessness in later life."
About Crisis
Crisis is the national charity for single homeless people. The Charity campaigns and delivers innovative services year-round to help people find a route out of their homelessness and rebuild their lives. Crisis estimates that there are 400,000 hidden homeless in Britain. The majority are single people who are not eligible for social housing and as a result live in hostels, bed and breakfasts or sleep on the floor of family and friends.
About Drinkaware
Drinkaware is the UK's leading consumer facing responsible drinking charity whose objectives are to positively change the national drinking culture in order to reduce alcohol misuse and minimise alcohol related harm.
Note: Around half of homeless people are dependent on alcohol. A relationship between alcohol and homelessness exists, although its precise nature is less obvious. Dependence can lead to homelessness, but can also exacerbate problems that already exist, while for others, alcohol problems may develop as a result of being homeless. It has been estimated that: up to 50 per cent of rough sleepers are alcohol reliant; and approximately one in three rough sleepers has a combination of mental health and substance misuse problems. There are few services designed specifically for homeless people who are problem drinkers and services tend to be either for the homeless or those with alcohol problems.
