Hello!

Six brave Bernstein colleagues will run the Royal Parks Half Marathon on Sunday 13 October 2024.

We are running to support Shelter, who provide vital services to homeless people throughout the United Kingdom. Shelter recently visited the Bernstein offices at 60 London Wall, and spoke eloquently about the growing number of homeless people in the UK who are greatly in need of our support.

As well as providing direct assistance such as support in gaining accommodation, Shelter run a programme to bring homeless people back into the workforce. They came across as an extremely worthy charity who bring practical benefits to an extraordinary number of people.

The housing crisis is a national emergency and right now, and millions of people are trying to get by without a safe place to call home. The Financial Times has reported that "Britain has by far the highest rate of homelessness in the developed world": https://www.ft.com/content/24117a03-37c2-424a-97ed-6a5292f9e92e

We know how generous Bernstein people can be, and we look forward to your support!

Thank you,

Victoria Williams, Patrick Stuart, Estelle Pang, Adrien Rabier, Richard Moffat, and Joseph Henriques
