Step by Step is a charity supporting young people who are homeless by providing accommodation; giving guidance and creating opportunities for personal growth and development; delivering specialist support services, such as counselling; and lobbying for better provision to prevent youth homelessness.

In July 2022, I walked the length of Great Britain, from John o’ Groats to Land’s End (JOGLE). It was a journey of 833 miles which I completed in twenty-six days, in support of the incredible work Step by Step delivers for young people who are experiencing hard times and homelessness.

Thanks to Step by Step - with special thanks to Alex and Sarah - for making the JOGLE fundraiser possible. Thanks to my employers Bracknell Forest Council for their endorsement and approving my extended leave to complete the challenge. Thanks to Blackwater Valley Runners for giving me the self-belief. Thanks to everyone for cheering me on and for your kind words of encouragement!

We should all have a place to call home. Sadly, not everybody does. Please get behind the Step by Step JOGLE challenge by kindly giving whatever you can afford and together let’s end youth homelessness. Thank you.
