About Change into Action - the network that is hard at work

Change into Action is an alternative giving scheme supporting specialist charities and street teams working directly with rough sleepers or people who are at risk of sleeping rough to change their circumstances.

All donations are kindly received and held by Feeding Coventry, before being allocated to individual needs.

Some of the heroes behind the scenes

Your donation will personally benefit a person sleeping rough. Trusted local charities, organisations and street teams will help rough sleepers to identify those things that can really make a change to their personal circumstances, they will then receive and make use of those funds.
