I am running this half marathon to raise much needed funds for the Bexhill & Rother Homelessness Unity Group (HUG) charity.

This incredible charity supports those in my area who are homeless, not as just a drop in, but on an ongoing basis to help them improve their situation.

They provide showers, food, laundry facilities, friendship and non-judgemental acceptance.

They work closely with mainstream support services whilst recognising each guest’s individual personality and need, to find the path that suits them best.

Much of their work is signposting and support. They will help with form filling, attending appointments and encouragement.

I have been lucky enough to be a trustee for this wonderful charity, which is close to my heart for several years now and I cannot stress how important it is to those who sadly need the help.
