Ellie Goulding and her management team, TaP Music, have joined forces with Crisis, sourcing 400 phones from EE to help people who're affected by homelessness stay connected during the coronavirus outbreak.

The Sixteen hitmaker, a long-time Crisis supporter and campaigner for ending homelessness, commented 'Over the last few weeks we have seen an unprecedented and phenomenal effort to rehouse people sleeping rough by the government, local authorities and homelessness charities, but I have remained very worried about how many people will still need support... Being able to stay connected may help to ward off isolation, but it will also help Crisis continue to deliver the check in calls and wellbeing catchups that we know are a lifeline'.
