Shelter and St. Mungo’s deal with helping the homeless and those under threat of homelessness.
Don’t under any circumstances give anything to the Salvation Army, as they discriminate against LGBT people and push a religious conservative agenda.

Haha exactly why I asked this kind of question; good dodge.
Both Shelter and St. Mungo's look quite good, so I might just set up donations to both.
Go buy homeless people in the street some food or warm clothing.
Giving money to charities ends up paying for CEOs yachts
rant edit.
Go fact check the charities you donate to. The downvotes suggest people somehow believe charity is useful and directly. Its an incredibly lazy, feel good I did good. The homeless people you see every day? They don’t see any of that. Buy them food. Offer them clothing, maybe shelter. Actually fucking help individual people.
Polly Neate makes £122,500 as the CEO of Shelter. That’s good money but much less than her skills could demand on the open market, and a damn far ways off yacht money. Please don’t spout this ardent nonsense.
Do not offer street homeless people shelter unless you have the skills, training and abilities necessary to support them long term, including dealing with the underlying issues which led to the person becoming street homeless in the first place and the subsequent issues which have kept them there.
