Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.</p> <p>A quick update to say that Gregory and Alban completed the 20-mile walk, despite wet weather and muddy conditions in some places, and Naomi walked clockwise from Lansdown to Midford, which is over half the total distance.</p> <p>Two years ago, Virginia, Naomi and Alban walked half of the Circuit of Bath Walk. Last year, Gregory and Alban did the whole circuit in an anti-clockwise direction - we think Alban (then 8) was probably the youngest person to complete the circuit.</p> <p>---------------</p> <p>Julian House's purpose is:</p> <ul> <li> to eradicate the need for rough sleeping</li> <li> to enable those who are homeless and those who are vulnerable and at risk of homelessness to establish sustainable homes and lifestyles</li> <li> to empower all users of its services to achieve their fullest potential</li> </ul> <p>At its foundation Julian House was set up to try and offer direct support to some of the most marginalised people in society &ndash; the homeless. Initially this was limited to offering a bed for night and some food. Over time other projects and services have been developed which not only address the symptoms of homelessness but also the underlying reasons why men and women are forced onto the streets. Indeed, projects such as the Community Support Team are targeted at preventing people becoming homeless.</p> <p>Today the charity operates 10 main projects at 6 different sites in and around Bath. At any one time over 100 clients are being helped by the staff team &ndash; men and women who are homeless, have recently been homeless or who are at risk of becoming homeless.</p> <p>---------------</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.
