Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Depaul UK works with some of the most disadvantaged young people in the UK. We specialise in working in communities where poverty and long-term unemployment have resulted in generations of social exclusion and high rates of homelessness.
Over the past 30 years we have grown as an organisation and developed and enhanced our work and the impact it has across the UK.
We believe no young person should have to sleep rough, and while we work to provide the accommodation that offers an immediate answer to homelessness, it is also a vital part of our work to prevent young people from becoming homeless in the first place.
Members of Y3/4P have decided it would be best to give the public and our community an option on how they help raise money for the homelessness. The following options are:
Sleep out - Sleep somewhere in your home other than your bed. You could put a tent up in your garden, sleep on your sofa, sleep on the kitchen floor, it could be anywhere to help understand the difficulties of being homeless.
Sponsored walk in Fancy Dress - Walk however long you want to walk in fancy dress to help promote the awareness of Homelessness in your community.
Climb a mountain - Climb SNOWDONIA or BEN NEVIS at home by walking the equivalent amount of steps in your garden, up the stairs or even on your daily exercise route. Share the steps between family and friends and help raise money and awareness of homelessness in our community.
Obstacle Course - Build an obstacle course in your garden and raise money and awareness of homelessness in our community.
