Yo peeps,

Here's the spiel... I've wanted to raise money for a long time. After a few light beverages on NYE, I thought, What's stopping me?!

And so, let us start the new year, THE RIGHT WAY. No drink, no takeaways, no late nights. It's just me and the track now. They'll be blood, sweat, tears... then eventually they'll be beers. 

But Kyle, why have you decided to run for Centrepoint? 

I'll tell you why... 

In short, not everyone is born with the same privileges. And being young isn't easy at the best of times. I don't come from a rich family, but as a child I always had food, clothes, and a roof over my head. Centrepoint helps homeless 16-25 year olds get qualifications, find employment, and gives them a place to sleep at night.

It would make me really happy if you can support me and donate to this cause. No amount is too small!

Thank you x

Centrepoint Bio

Centrepoint is the UK's leading charity for homeless young people. Together with our partners we provide housing and support for over 10,000 young people, aged 16-25, every year, helping them into work and a home of their own.

Young people sleep rough every night - in parks, stairwells, under bridges and worse. But there are thousands more you don't see - spending the night on buses, on sofas or in the homes of strangers. They're escaping abuse, violence, gangs and fear. Many are homeless because they can't live with their family, or they have no family.

More than 86,000 young people ask for help with homelessness every year.

What our money could do

£15 – Could help go towards a comfy bed and mattress - and give someone their first decent night's sleep in months.

£50 - Could help fund a month of travel for a homeless young person, either to get them to the course they are desperate to complete, to a new apprenticeship, or to work before that first vital pay-cheque.

£100 – Can set a young person up with the essentials they need to help them become independent such as a kettle, saucepans, and bed linen; and the basics they need from day to day like a toothbrush, soap and their own clean towel.
