Your Vote could make a BIG difference to someone experiencing homelessness. Vote for The Ferry Project as this month's regional charity on the Lidl Plus app. This could mean £10,000 that will directly benefit our clients who are currently experiencing homelessness.

Ferry Project is an award-winning registered charity and social enterprise based in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire. Since 1999, we have been dedicated to helping those experiencing homelessness and vulnerability across the Fenland area. As the largest provider of homelessness-related services in the district — supporting an estimated 80% of those experiencing homelessness locally — we engage with over 300 clients each year across housing advice, emergency accommodation, hostel living, resettlement, employment support, and health services.

How it works

The five participating causes in each area have been shortlisted according to local deprivation needs. The selection process uses the Neighbourly Pulse tool, which brings together local community and deprivation data to help identify areas and organisations requiring support.

Why it Matters

We believe homelessness is rarely just about housing — it is almost always connected to trauma, mental health challenges, relationship breakdown, addiction, or unemployment. That is why we take a holistic, whole-person approach, offering a full continuum of care from the moment someone comes off the streets through to fully independent living. We operate six supported accommodation sites across Fenland, including Octavia View, Destiny Haven, Hope House, Agape House, Faith House, Jubilee Place, and properties in March. Every resident has a dedicated keyworker providing personalised, trauma-informed support.
