Oxford Half Marathon 2019 · 13 October 2019 ·

A cafe for homeless and vulnerably-housed people aged 25+ in the centre of Oxford. Open six days a week in the early evening. We provide a wide range of support services and advice as well as simple, nutritious food and drink. In other words, a community centre for those who have no community.

Story

The Gatehouse acts as a refuge for the homeless and vulnerably housed of Oxford, where the scourge of homelessness is more conspicuous than anywhere else I have been in the UK. I have been volunteering there on and off since Christmas, but decided I wanted to do a little bit more. So I have decided to do the thing I hate most in the entire world - running! I am now aiming to run in the Hackney half marathon in May 2020. I am aiming to do the half in under 2 hours. Wish me luck..

Thanks for taking a look! Double thanks if you donated anything at all - every little helps!
