The Passage helps homeless people in the Victoria area of London, providing both basic care and the means to make a fresh start in life. Over 200 people use its day centre every day and its 48 bed hostel is full every night. 100 professional staff are assisted by a pool of 200 volunteers. The Passage depends on voluntary contributions as only half its costs come from statutory sources.
We are supporting our school to raise money for the homeless charity The Passage. The challenge we're set up for ourselves (in addition to the one from school) is to spend a couple of hours in sleeping bags on Trafalgar Square on Sunday March 8th, 2009. We've already raised 227 pounds offline, but we very much would like to reach 300. So please help as much as you can.
Hello again, We are back from spending almost a couple of hours on Trafalgar Square, well, sort of. The heritage wardens kicked ut out of the square, and the police threatened to call Child Protection services when we move to another spot in the square, and Fatima told them that she was freezing! But we made it in the end. Thanks for your support.
Elena & Fatima & Sofia
