I work in Croydon and have always seen homeless people but it seems I have been seeing more and more lately.   I try to buy a meal for them where and when I can but it never seems like it is enough.

In December 2022 Faith Chapel Ministries, of which I am a member,  took part in providing Christmas Shoeboxes for the homeless people who would be spending Christmas at Robes Projects.  We were able to provide 30 shoeboxes which they were so grateful for. 

 From that I feel like I am being drawn to do more for the homeless.  I will be walking on behalf of Faith Chapel for the Robes Project and be participating in this half marathon walk which will be my first endeavour to help make a difference.

One of my favourite quotes is "I want to make a difference, With people who are making a difference, Doing something that makes a difference, At a time when it makes a difference." - John Maxwell

Thank you for visiting my page and supporting this cause.

I appreciate you.

Homelessness is increasing in London, recent statistics show its up 40% since 2010. Whilst the need is increasing services have been decreasing due to funding cuts. Leaving people vulnerable to extended periods of homelessness which has a detrimental impact on their physical and mental health. The London Homeless Collective brings charities together from pavement to policy. Collectively, the group shares ideas, experience, and opportunities, and work together to ensure that nobody is left behind. On Friday 10th March the sector is coming together with one aim - to fight homelessness in our capital. Aiming to raise £250,000 to support much needed services over one fantastic night.
