Hyundai is supporting Crisis, the national charity for single homeless people, by supplying vehicles for use by its dedicated team of volunteers in London over Christmas.
The charity is taking delivery of 16 vehicles – a mix of Santa Fes, i800s and i30s – as it prepares for the festive period. The cars will carry supplies and transport individual guests and volunteers around London, supporting Crisis at Christmas which runs from December 22nd-30th.
Jon Sparkes, Crisis’ Chief Executive, said: “Christmas should be a time for family and friends, for warmth and celebration, yet for homeless people it can be one of the hardest times of year – a cold, lonely time to be suffered rather than enjoyed.
“Crisis at Christmas is only possible due to the generosity of our volunteers and donors, such as Hyundai, who have come together to make Christmas happen for some of society’s most vulnerable people.”
Crisis at Christmas will see a dedicated team of more than 9,000 volunteers supporting 4,000 homeless people over the Christmas period, helping them to take their first steps out of homelessness.
More than 6,000 people slept rough in London at some point last year, an increase of 77% since 2010.
