Do something great today!!!

UK Mortgage Prisoners is a not for profit organisation supporting those that have been trapped for around 14 years in their mortgages. This has caused severe financial and mental impact to their lives and their children’s lives. We are now directly helping up to 5,000 families through the Facebook group and an unknown amount through the website. We have been doing this for over 4 years unfunded, but have come to the point that the help we are giving to stop families going hungry or losing their homes through repossession, most with families, is reaching high levels. There are a small group of admin volunteers, who work tirelessly to provide support through helping with court forms, set up meetings to mediate with their administrators and banks, whilst also finding ways to keep them from the poverty trap. We have become a campaign group that supports their members mentally and sometimes though the generosity of the group, financially in setting up in a new home with the basic amenities.

Over the 4 years of running the UK Mortgage Prisoner Facebook action group the costs have been covered by the kind donations from the members of the group.

The needs of the group have changed and are becoming increasingly desperate. More and more members are seeking help for a variety of reasons, such as;

• interest only mortgages reaching term

• negotiating mortgage payment plans

• repossession fears

• homelessness

• payment holidays coming to an end

• job losses

• damaged credit files

• mental health concerns

From the contributions made we plan to use the funds to;

Create a hardship fund for those in immediate danger of homelessness

Access an application process for those families unable to make payments for heating or food

Running costs of the group

Help those in need of specialist mental health and the prevention of suicide through training to assist

You will be helping families that need the group to continue fighting for them whilst also finding new ways to support them through their difficult times.
