I’m running a half marathon to raise money for Shelter, the National Campaign for Homelessness.

Shelter helps over a million people a year who are struggling with poor housing or homelessness.

Why I chose to support a homeless charity:

In 2016 I connected with a woman who we’re experiencing homelessness. I got to know her story and her hopes for the future, as we parted she said

‘will you be here next week?’

From then until lockdown, I reached out to local businesses, allocated funding, collected clothing, food, animal supplies, and toiletries and handed these out with a small team.

In 2024, I was lucky enough to join a team that aims to deliver quality housing for people in need.

If you can spare a couple of quid, it could make a real difference to someone restarting their life.

shelter provides guidance and the tools needed for people to build successful lives.

Your money will support people sofasurfing / in temp accommodation and people who are street homeless. Youth homelessness is rising, with over 118,000 young people seeking help in 2023-24.

Thank you, much love
