Hyundai is helping the homeless this
Christmas, supplying a fleet of vehicles for use by national charity Crisis.
Crisis,
the charity for single
homeless people, will use 16 Hyundais
to transport supplies and people around London during the festive period when
the people it aims to help would otherwise be at their most vulnerable.
A mix
of i30 hatchbacks, i800 people carriers and, naturally, Santa Fes, will travel
the streets of the capital between December 22-30.
Jon
Sparkes, Crisis' chief executive, said: "Christmas should be a time for
family and friends, for warmth and celebration, yet for homeless people it can be
one of the hardest times of year - a cold, lonely time to be suffered rather
than enjoyed.
"Crisis
at Christmas is only possible due to the generosity of our volunteers and
donors, such as Hyundai,
who have come together to make Christmas happen for some of society's most
vulnerable people."
Crisis,
says the firm's official statement, aims to end homelessness, helping those
affected by offering heath, education and employment services.
More
than 9,000 volunteers will support around 4,000 people under the Crisis banner
this Christmas.
According
to figures quoted in a Hyundai
press release, more than 6,000 people slept rough in London "at some point
last year".
