My name is Gillian Thomas and I am undertaking a mini triathlon to raise money for the homeless in Croydon.

The Charity I would like to support is Croydon Churches Floating Shelter. All volunteers are unpaid and give their time freely. Please help me raise as much as possible for this cause.

The churches offer their guests an evening meal, a bed for the night, breakfast in the morning and a packed lunch to take with them when they leave after breakfast. Some churches are able to offer shower facilities. In addition, the volunteers offer valuable companionship in a warm, safe and caring environment.

The volunteers make up the beds, provide food, cook and serve the evening meal, wash up, prepare the packed lunches, stay overnight, make breakfast, clear everything away and take laundry home to wash ready for the following week.
