On the 13th of October I am running the Manchester Half Marathon. I want to take the opportunity to fundraise for a charity extremely close to home, Homeless Hampers.

Based in Leeds and led by Tina and Aky Suryavanasi, Homeless Hampers provides weekly distributions of food and hot drinks to those in need. Beyond that, they offer invaluable support to individuals at risk of or experiencing homelessness.

As my mum is a trustee of the charity, I witness first-hand the immense dedication, hard work, and selflessness the incredible volunteers put into this cause.

Homeless Hampers goes beyond immediate aid by offering advice and resources to help individuals rebuild their lives, supporting those who have been rehomed in less than suitable accommodation by assisting with home repairs and furniture needs, and stepping in to intervene in the lives of vulnerable young adults at risk of homelessness.

Anything donated will make a huge and direct impact to a sadly increasing community.

Thank you,

Daisy
