Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page for Shelter.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now. Can we double my target?

In September whilst approaching my 55^th year, I will be cycling from Lands End to John O’Groats, a distance of just over 1050 miles. A difficult task especially when one considers the route I am taking; through Wales, Yorkshire Dales, and Lake District etc.

I have chosen to raise money for the charity SHELTER. We all live in homes that are comfortable and sometimes take for granted, there are many people in the UK who do not but should have that basic human right of access to a decent, affordable home.

There are many reasons why people struggle to find either a home at all or decent homes; eviction, repossession, losing their jobs and unable to keep payments etc. Shelter fights for the rights of these people both young and old to either provide a roof over their heads or improve their living standards.

The campaigning arm of SHELTER is lobbying the Government to provide a large number affordable homes in an attempt to house the many thousands of people which currently do not have a home.

Many charities can be wasteful in administration, SHELTER spend just 1% on its governance, therefore for every pound you donate to my ride, 99 pence will go to the charity, if you covenant the amount, then at least another 20 pence will be added.

Please be generous
