Turning Tides, previously WCHP, believe that everyone has the right to a home, regardless of the difficulties and issues they may face in their lives. We believe in showing those who need our help that the wider community are there to support them and to offer hope for a better future.

Story

<p>I feel strongly about doing our bit for our community and the homeless are often misunderstood and stigmatised, but most have mental health problems so are just sick and should be cared for in the same way we would care for the sick in hospitals, yet they often do not receive the same care and support.&nbsp; This charity is very special to me&nbsp;as they provide food, shelter and support to the most vulnerable in our community when they&nbsp;need it most&nbsp;and they work with a team of volunteers, so please sponsor me and help them to continue caring for those that are often forgotten. Thank you! :-)</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
