End of Year Statistics 2024/2025
At the end of our financial year, we wanted to share and reflect on the impact our work has had. 2024 / 2025 has been one of both great challenges and progress for Wintercomfort, highlighting how critical our work continues to be.
This year, 800 individuals used our services here in Cambridge— a figure that remains alarmingly high.
Thanks to your support, 679 people accessed our essential welfare support here at Overstream house, with many more benefiting from our outreach programs, housing advice, and mental health support. The demand for our other services has risen significantly; particularly within our outreach and women’s only programs.
Rising living costs, a shortage of affordable housing, and increased pressures on mental health have all contributed to this year’s surge in homelessness. More than ever, individuals and families who never expected to need help have turned to us in crisis.
How can you help Wintercomfort?
Each year we need to raise over £1m to enable us to deliver our vital services. As our statistics demonstrate, demand for our services are at an all-time high, and your support has never been more needed.
