Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On Sunday 2nd October I will be running the London Marathon (virtually) across a route in Medway in support of the Medway Street Angels who I am a very PROUD Trustee for - https://msahomeless.co.uk/, https://www.facebook.com/themedwaystreetangels.

MSA was founded as The Medway Street Angels in 2014 when we began supporting the homeless by searching the local streets, parks and green areas with a pushchair, a flask and hot food. At the time no other such service was available. This service evolved over the next few months to garden trolleys, more volunteers, and more food, walking for several miles from 7-11pm.

Since that time, the charity has grown, thanks to the amazing contributions of our volunteers and supporters. We expanded to multiple days a week and reduced back down to two days providing static soup kitchens. In addition to our weekly meals, working with local authorities we now also provide essential items to those in need within our community, as well as ongoing care and support.

Our soup kitchens are open to all guests — our policy is that no one is turned away, and we’re often joined by people from the age of 17 right through to 70 and upwards. We provide a friendly and mutually respectful atmosphere, sharing plenty of hot food and drinks. We also distribute clothing, toiletries and camping equipment. 

All our charitable activities in Medway are run by our dedicated volunteers, who ensure each guest leaves feeling happier than when they arrived, with tailored information for support. Our team members are fully trained, DBS checked and regularly offered additional training such as courses in first aid, suicide prevention, mental health, domestic abuse, and substance misuse.
