Amelies Bikeathon · 14 December 2019

We're Kent's leading homelessness charity. We work with people who are living on the streets, in our supported housing and in local communities. We help people to reach their full potential by breaking down the barriers to housing, mental and physical health, work and education.

Story

Hi I’m Amelie and with the help of my bestie Esme and my family and friends this Christmas we hope to raise £1000 for the homeless Charity Porchlight.  


Because its coming upto Christmas and its freezing cold and everyone is buying presents I wanted to raise money and give a present back to people who may not have a home this winter or struggling to get back on their feet.

 

Did you know that 1 in around 201 people are currently homeless and there are now 320,000 people  homeless in the UK and the numbers keep rising. 


We  have decided to hold a sponsored  Bikeathon outside the Tenterden Town hall on Saturday 14thDecember.  Hopefully with the help of family and friends we are going to keep a bike constantly cycling for a whole 8 hours.  We know we can do it, we have been training and we really  REALLY want to raise money for Porchlight.


Money raised could pay for th following:

£5 could pay for a cost of a call for someone in crises 

£25 could pay for a basic provision pack for someone moving into much needed accommodation


If you can spare any pennies, we would really appreciate it.
