FINALIST 2024
Noah shares his story of fleeing persecution and arriving in the UK in Boaz's 2023 Christmas Appeal, Noah's Story. He came to the UK hoping to find safety, but instead ended up destitute and homeless. "Life, for me, was hell," Noah says.
The Boaz Trust helped Noah rebuild his life. Now, he's choosing to share his story to help others facing the same struggle.
A detention centre, a barge or a doorway shouldn't be anyone's home. At Christmas, or ever. We desperately need people to help us keep the doors of Boaz's houses open, giving more people like Noah a warm welcome and hope when they need it most.

We align with the following UN Sustainable Development Goals:
