Hamish, Ben, Anna, Alice and Marie are raising money for Shoosmiths' London office charity partner, the Single Homeless Project, through running the Royal Parks Half Marathon on 8 October 2023.

They'll be swapping swivel chairs for trainers over the coming months and would be very grateful for any donations you can give to support this fantastic charity. 

Each day across all 32 London boroughs, the Single Homeless Project works with individuals to tackle the underlying causes of homelessness, such as poor mental health or drug and alcohol dependency.

Often that means being there for people at a critical time whether to prevent their eviction or help them off the street; to get them into drug or alcohol treatment or support them with their mental health; or to help them find a job and a flat so that they can take the final steps to living on their own. 

Perhaps most important of all, SHP's work restores hope to people who might otherwise feel forgotten, left behind or written off, providing crucial footholds in their recovery journey from which they can go on to build independent and fulfilling lives. 

The difference your donation makes:£10 Could pay for an emergency parcel for a Londoner coming off the streets. £25 Could fund a 1:2:1 employability session helping Londoners find their dream job and leave homelessness behind for good.
