Story

I am joining in the fun and challenging myself to Go the Distance for homeless men and women. Please help me reach my target as for every £85 raised, Turning Tides can give one day of emergency support to as many as 30 homeless men and women. Homelessness is extremely close to my heart; both from experiencing it and supporting other people/families who are having a tough time. We’re all just a pay check or two away from being homeless. One unexpected circumstance! One life changing event. Turning Tides are a wonderful charity, who I know very well, and deeply need this funding - especially during the pandemic! TOGETHER we can end homelessness and make a difference to people around our community. I’ll be camping out for the whole night, on Friday 23rd October, whatever the weather, to help show my support and document what the homeless have to go through EVERY SINGLE NIGHT! It’ll be cold, but what’s colder is doing nothing. We’re all people and just need a helping hand! Especially with World Homelessness Day on October 10th, this couldn’t be more apt. Even just a £1 would help. Thank you in advance ❄️⛺️🥶

This event will follow all of the government restrictions for Covid-19.
