Thank you very much for visiting my fundraising page.
It would be great if you could sponsor me. I am undertaking a challenge to finish the Blenheim Triathlon on the 7th June, involving a 750 metre swim, 20km cycle and a 5km run.
Most importantly I will be fundraising for a charity that means a great deal to me and to many people living in London.
The Passage is a charity working with street homeless people in Central London, mainly in South Westminster including the areas around the Victoria Stations. The Passage's mission is to provide the resources, which encourage, challenge and inspire homeless people to transform their lives. The mission is carried out through street link work, the provision of a day centre and hostel accommodation. The street team work late at night or first thing in the morning. Last year they met 831 individuals, mainly encouraging them to return to areas away from Central London but also finding 142 people accommodation. The day centre helped 4,139 individuals providing services ranging from the provision of food, showers, a laundry and clothing to specialist health work, education, training and employment and help in accessing welfare benefits and housing. 496 people were helped to claim welfare benefits which they had not claimed. The hostels helped 212 people. Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It's also the most efficient way to sponsor me. The Passage gets your money faster and, if you're a UK tax payer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
Thank you very much for your support.
All the best
Darren
