Our Mission
Pass It On supports homeless and vulnerable people in the UK, with an emphasis on practical help that makes a tangible improvement to their physical and mental wellbeing.
Our Vision
We believe that everyone should have a place they call home: somewhere that’s safe, secure and suitable for the needs that most of us take for granted. Until that’s achieved we’ll provide vital supplies – including food, clothing and and companionship – that help those living on the streets or temporary accommodation in towns and cities across the UK. We work with business and volunteers to make connections – both personal and professional – that help to change lives and communities for the better.
Testimonials
I can honestly say the whole volunteering with Pass It On experience has changed my life. Giving out clothing, sleeping bags, a warm meal and kind words to people who live on the streets was very rewarding. Volunteering is such a wonderful experience, giving out much needed items along with warm words and kindness is so heart-warming and humbling. It is a privilege to be involved and I would recommend everyone to get involved.
Nicola Black, Volunteer
Thank you so much for the absolutely marvellous donations. We are set for the winter essentials for many weeks. The care bags are brilliant. We are so pleased that you’ve helped equip those living on the streets, with the bare necessities, yet good quality stuff.
Richard, from Street Life in Bristol
I am writing to thank you very much for the 50 care packages you had delivered. You will be very happy to know that each of these was given out on Sunday to our International Group - people who are facing homelessness and destitution in central London. Those who received the bags and the enclosed items were all grateful. Thank you for your generous support and please pass on our thanks to all those who organised this and the transport to get them here. Each bag has now been used to help someone in real need. Thank you.
Revd Richard Carter, St-Martin-in-the-fields, Trafalgar Square
Thank You so so much for the amazing rucksacks you delivered to Hope yesterday, they are ABSOLUTELY incredible and will make such a huge difference to our service users.
The Hope Centre, Northampton
Just wanted to say thank you for dropping off the 25 “Care Packages” They will be very useful to our clients. We will be distributing to our clients that have no recourse to public funds when they arrive at our service. They are a very welcome addition to the support that we currently offer our clients and have already been met with positively from the clients that have received it.
Nick Rosekilly, Deputy Manager, NSNO HUB (YHA Brighton)
Pass It On is good for the soul. Going out, meeting people, listening to their story and helping them with things that we take for granted. Reminding us and the people who find themselves on the streets that they are still human.
Sam Page, Account Executive Instore
What a fantastic experience to be a part of! It was so rewarding to see the smiles on the faces of our street friends when giving them their care packs. So proud to be a part of a company which thrives on helping those in need. I will definitely be volunteering again!
