As homelessness reaches record levels in Buckinghamshire, Wycombe Homeless Connection says the response from local people has been nothing short of extraordinary. From a volunteer-run winter night shelter that has already supported more than 30 people in six weeks, to hundreds of residents giving their time, food and funds, communities across South Buckinghamshire are stepping up to protect their most vulnerable neighbours…

Wycombe Homeless Connection has been named Outstanding Contribution by an Organisation to the Charity Sector in Buckinghamshire. This award recognises nearly 20 years of preventing homelessness and reducing its harm across the county. It celebrates the dedication of our volunteers, supporters, staff, and the whole community who make our work possible.

With the help of hundreds of volunteers and supporters, WHC and AHAG are working towards making this winter one that will not cause harm to anyone who is homeless in our communities.

We are urgently calling for volunteers to run our Winter Night Shelter, which will reopen in January 2026 to provide life-saving warmth and safety for people sleeping rough across south Buckinghamshire.

It takes a community response to make a change and bring an end to homelessness.

Government promises rough sleeping is finally to be de-criminalised and affordable housing budget is set.

Specsavers are breaking down the healthcare barriers that people who are homeless face.

After three months providing a safe, warm space for our guests our winter night shelter has come to an end… but there’s much more going on!

WHC works to change lives as homelessness increases by almost 40% in Buckinghamshire.
