The lender donated £29.06 for every application received during December, and has pledged to donate at least £150,000 to Crisis across three years.

A number of charity champions in the business intend to inspire employees, intermediary partners, and customers to take action to help end homelessness across the UK.

Anth Mooney, chief executive at Vida Homeloans, said: “Christmas is a time for giving, and we’re thrilled to have raised over £20,000 in support of Crisis helping 650 homeless people.

“At Vida we believe no-one should be forced into homelessness and we want to bring attention to such an important cause and make a difference.

“I know I speak for everyone at Vida when I say we are delighted to be partnered with Crisis to assist the fantastic work they do to change people’s lives for the better.”
