Seven days to crucial debate: get your MP there

Crisis Campaigns      Seven days to crucial debate on sudden evictions       Dear Crisis e-campaigner Next Friday MPs will debate a vital new law to protect private tenants from sudden eviction through no fault of their own. Please ask your MP to support this essential reform. At the moment, if you've paid the rent but your landlord has failed to pay the mortgage you can find yourself chucked out onto the streets with no rights when the property is repossessed. The new law would be the culmination of the Crisis A private matter? campaign and is simple, but should be effective. If it's passed, around 324,000 private tenants at risk would gain the right to be given notice to find somewhere else to live. With your help, we've got this far with the campaign. Now it's over to MPs – please ask yours to stand up and be counted at the debate on Friday 29 January and to add their name to the motion in support. And it's vital that as many MPs as possible attend on Friday - so please forward this email to friends and ask them to take action too. Asylum seekers need support Crisis is worried about Government plans to cut support for asylum seekers. Asylum seekers are already at risk of homelessness and poverty, especially if their claim is rejected. So as a member of campaign coalition Still Human Still Here Crisis would urge e-campaigners to take action to protest about further cuts to what is already a low level of support.

Loving the snow? Try sleeping in it!

Loving the snow?  Try sleeping in it. Can you keep homeless people off the streets this winter? Hello Although the biggest blizzard for decades has caused widespread travel chaos, many people are taking the chance to enjoy the freak weather; staying off work, building snowmen, sledging and lobbing the odd snowball. But for homeless people, this weather is no joke - for those sleeping outside it is life-threatening. Now that our Christmas centres have closed-down, we are helping homeless people get training, education, work and access to proper housing - to keep them off the streets for good. To run these services we rely on donations from people like you. Please donate as much as you can afford. Thank you.  Donate here Ed Tait Head of Individual Giving Crisis, 66 Commercial Street, London, E1 6LT Tel: 0844 251 0111 Fax: 0844 251 0110 Email: enquiries@crisis.org.uk Company Number - 4024938 | Charity numbers - England and Wales: 1082947 Scotland: SC040094 Email Preferences  |  Privacy Policy

Crisis campaign wins December 2009

Crisis Campaigns   Wow! Three Crisis campaigns wins in 14 days – thanks to you       Dear Crisis e-campaigner When Crisis e-campaigners get on the case, it's amazing what happens. In the last fortnight, we've had three big campaign wins which will make a real difference to homeless people. Loads of you took e-action to back our Poor choice campaign to stop proposed cuts hitting the poorest tenants. And last week the Government said it will withdraw the plan. Many of you supported our Housing benefits, not barriers campaign since it began last year, to make sure work always pays. This week the Government said it would look at reforms on housing benefits, including measures recommended by Crisis. Crisis e-campaigners like you contacted their MPs about A Private Matter? our campaign to make sure all tenants get decent notice rather than sudden eviction when their landlord's property is repossessed. MP Brian Iddon now says he'll use a special parliamentary procedure to make this protection law. Government and opposition parties have pledged to back it. A brilliant end to 2009! We look forward to achieving even more with you in the new year. Jenny Westaway Campaigns Manager PS – What are you doing for Crisis Christmas next week?

Take action to stop cuts before it's too late

Crisis campaigns e-newsletter   Take action before it's too late 19/11/2009 Last week Gordon Brown was challenged at Prime Minister's Question Time about cuts that could see some tenants losing nearly 20% of their income. He said no final decision had been taken – so please take the Crisis simple e-action to oppose this deeply worrying proposal while there’s still time to stop it. The Crisis Poor choice: stop cuts to the poorest campaign opposes a cut that we’re worried could lead to increases in debt, rent arrears and, in the worst cases, homelessness. So, if you’ve not already done so, take action now. Thanks for your support.
