Elmbridge Rentstart Runners!
Fundraising for Rentstart
Story
We are a team of 8, including Elmbridge Rentstart staff, family, volunteers and supporters who are running to raise funds to support those who are homeless or vulnerably housed.
Over the last year the small team at Elmbridge Rentstart have given advice to 384 people and have gone on to house 154 clients. Having a stable home enables a more fulfilling life and we are delighted that 92% of those we housed last year are still housed and enjoying a more stable future.
Those we support often have complex needs, in the last year 31% were rough sleepers, 45% had mental health issues, 7% had criminal records and 29% faced drug or alcohol problems. Together these issues mean that our clients need support, not only to find a home, but to establish themselves and reengage with society.
The funds we raise will help us better support our clients, and your donations really do make a difference.
