on 26 October 2011

Donations cannot currently be made to this page
Our vision is of a society where street homelessness no longer exists, and everyone has a place to call home. The Passage is based in Westminster, providing practical support and a wide range of services to help transform the lives of people who are, or are at risk of, street homelessness.

Story

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; color: #003366;">OK, so Mo-vember rules state that moustaches are only supposed to start growing on 1 November but then there's nothing fair, equitable or law abiding about this soup strainer. On the contrary, this is clearly the nasty, snarling sort of &lsquo;tache that would, if it could, spend its days sucking cheap whisky out of chipped glasses and wrestlinh dwarves with Mike Tindall and his crew.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; color: #003366;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; color: #003366;">But you&rsquo;d see another side to the little critter too, if you&rsquo;d take the time to get to know him. As winter closes in and the nights grow longer and colder, this is one facial adornment that stops to think about those who don&rsquo;t have snug, warm moustache nets to sleep in each night and who don&rsquo;t get to gobble up about half of anything that I try to manoeuvre into my mouth. That&rsquo;s why this Mo-vember the old fuzzy-man will be supporting The Passage, a homeless charity based in the heart of London who every day help more than 200 people without homes.

Stalin was the only megalomaniac monster to sport a decent looking &lsquo;tache &ndash; except his was a fake. True story. No one knows what happened to that lip wig after his death, but one thing is certain: This is not that moustache.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; color: #003366;">There is no ginger in my moustache.</span></p>
