Housing charities

Local and national housing charities such as Shelter, Crisis and St Mungo’s play a crucial role in tackling homelessness, supporting vulnerable individuals and pushing for fairer, safer housing for all.

As a group of people who care deeply about creating stronger, more inclusive communities, we’re hugely passionate about this work and always proud to use our expertise to help drive it forward.  

A chronic shortage of affordable homes. Rising rents. People living on the streets or in temporary accommodation. 

Right now, the UK faces a significant housing and homelessness crisis that’s damaging health, disrupting education and work, causing social isolation, and putting extra pressure on public services.

At Yarn, we’re proud to partner with housing charities that tackle these issues by providing face-to-face support, offering legal advice and campaigning for change. 

We love creating powerful campaigns, telling stories that move people, and designing bold materials that raise awareness, inspire donors and drive real action.

How we work with housing charities 

When we start working with a housing or homelessness charity, the first thing we do is get to know you – your services, your campaigns, and the people you’re here to help. 

Next, we dive into your project brief, exploring goals, opportunities, challenges and the best path forward.

From this solid foundation, our talented creatives get to work, bringing your story to life. Meanwhile, our Client Happiness Team is on hand to answer questions promptly, offer expert guidance, and keeps everything on track.

With every housing charity we partner with, our goal is simple: to exceed your expectations and make the whole project as enjoyable, rewarding and impactful as possible.
