Story

This time of year is particularly rough for vast amounts of people without a home around the UK.  

The Simon Community give support to those in need, in order to survive and find a way out of their current situation.  


Examples of how much items cost -

£30 sleeping bag 

£20 for thermal clothing

£5 (or under) for basic toiletries

Run largely by volunteers, their aim is to help people get off the streets and recognise the underlying issues which drove them to homelessness in the first place.   This can be due to eviction with no safe space to go to,  a lack of family support, trauma and serious mental health conditions.


I'll be shaving all my hair off in aid of this, so please give whatever you can or just spread some awareness & compassion and we will be helping a few extra people by doing so. 

Thank you :)
