Story

In my work over the last year I have met so many inspirational people who have fought such adversity in their lives and have managed somehow to turn it all around with the amazing support of staff who work for Turning Tides.  I see first hand how some of the most vulnerable in our community are supported out of homelessness and really make something of their new lives.  They can't do this without Turning Tides and Turning Tides cannot do this without raising vital funds. I cannot tell you how much I am NOT looking forward to sleeping out all night and I'm told it will be a really difficult night of my life.  Please sponsor me, however little you are able to afford over the Christmas period.  It really is shit - living in such an affluent society, some of our most vulnerable neighbours sleep under our pier, behind the swimming pool, in tents in the forest.  THANK YOU!  Please make it worth my while!!!!
