Well, would you believe it? It’s been 4 years since we launched our partnership with Crisis – supporting their work to help end homelessness across Britain. And what an amazing 4 years we’ve had…

How we’re helping

At SpareRoom we’ve been running our Live Rent Free competition for 13 years – and in that time we’ve given away a whopping £127,114.18 to our lucky winners. This has been a life-changing amount of money for many, which is what helped us realise we could help more people too.

So when we joined forces with Crisis back in 2018, we decided to match every Live Rent Free prize amount from then onwards and donate the same amount of money to the charity – including our huge annual prize.

To date we’ve donated £92,555.65 to Crisis, helping fund their year-round services which provide vital support so that people can rebuild their lives, and are supported out of homelessness for good.

Emily Lever, Head of Partnerships and National Engagement at Crisis, says: *"We all know how important a safe stable home is. It’s essential for how we feel about ourselves physically and mentally. But we also know that there are over 227,000 families and people across Britain who don’t have a place to call home. For them, experiencing homelessness is devastating, isolating and dangerous. The cost of living crisis means that so many more people are at risk of becoming homeless. Here at Crisis, we’re seeing more people than ever before coming to us for help.

That’s why we’re delighted that SpareRoom is supporting us through the ‘Live Rent Free’ competition. One lucky winner will have their rent paid for the rest of the year. The competition will also raise vital funds that will help us to end the homelessness sooner. On behalf of everyone at Crisis, thank you to SpareRoom for supporting us."*
