Virtual Walk from Lands End to John O'Groats · 1 January 2021

Fresh Start is an Edinburgh-based charity helping people who have been homeless set up their new home & settle in their community. We provide essential goods to set up a new tenancy and social & practical support to live independently & feel part of a community.

Story

Thanks for visiting my page and showing your support. 2020 was an unexpected year for everyone. I would therefore like to do something positive in 2021 for myself (activity levels need seriously increased) and for others so fundraising seems an ideal way. I've set myself the challenge of walking/cycling/swimming (depending on restrictions) the equivalent length of Lands End to John O'Groats which is 1083 miles. In theory this would work out as approx 3 miles every day which should be achievable, however, I'm sure that while also fitting in work and the boys, this will prove challenging at times!

 The experience of being homeless can have a devastating effect. Fresh Start help those who have been homeless settle into a new home and back into their community. They do this by providing Starter Packs of everyday household goods, a Hit Squad which will help decorate up to two rooms, and an opportunity to attend cooking classes and work in one of our community Growing Spaces. Their Services help people get their life back on track, enabling them to make a home for themselves.
