Hi, I’m Dr. Byron Cole. For the last few years on my birthday, I've hosted a glamorous black tie gala event to celebrate life’s blessings. But this year, I’m doing something different, something that truly matters.

Instead of a fancy soiree, I’m dedicating February 11th MY ACTUAL BIRTHDAY to giving back to those who need it most. I’ve experienced hardship in my life and while I’ve been fortunate to overcome it, many are still struggling. That’s why I’ve decided to turn my birthday into a day of service, hope and transformation for the homeless.

This year, I’m partnering with Brixton Soup Kitchen, a phenomenal charity dedicated to supporting those in need.

Homelessness is not just about lacking a roof over your head, it’s about lacking stability, opportunity and dignity. As someone who faced adversity as a child, I understand how life’s challenges can push people to the brink. This cause is personal to me because I believe everyone deserves a chance to rebuild, no matter where they are in life.

On February 11th, with the help of an amazing team of volunteers, we’ll be:

• Providing warm winter clothing and sleeping bags.

• Offering hot meals to feed those in need.

• Distributing essential items like toiletries.

• Running CV workshops to help individuals rebuild their lives through employment.

To make this vision a reality, we need YOUR support. Your donation will help us purchase food, clothing, sleeping bags and supplies for the CV workshops. Every penny raised will go directly towards helping the homeless.

On average, £35 is enough to provide one person with food, warmth, and essential supplies.

What your donation can do:

£6 buys a full winter pack (hat, gloves, scarf)

£13 provides a sleeping bag

£35 sponsors an entire care package for one person

£100 helps support multiple individuals

Your contribution, big or small can make a massive difference. By donating, you’re not just giving resources, you’re giving hope, opportunity and a reminder that someone cares.

Let’s make this birthday one that changes lives. Together, we can bring warmth, sustenance and support to those who need it most.

With gratitude,

Dr. Byron Cole
