This winter, Help4Homeless is coming back with our biggest campaign yet. We're aiming to provide at least 100 Winter Wellbeing Packs to people experiencing homelessness and hardship across Peterborough.
Over the past few months, Help4Homeless has been quieter than usual. This winter, that changes. We're rebuilding our team, returning to the community and launching our biggest campaign yet.

Tom Chalmers, Founder
In 2025, Tom Chalmers — then just 17 years old — saw people in his community struggling without basic essentials. Rather than look away, he decided to act.
Starting with a handful of friends and a simple idea, Tom founded Help4Homeless to provide wellbeing packs to people experiencing homelessness in Peterborough.
