Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm taking part in the Edinburgh Marathon Festival by running 4.5 miles as part of the Hairy Haggis Relay Race! The reason that I'm taking part in this race is to help raise vital funds for Bethany Christian Trust, a Scottish Homelessness Charity who help over 7,000 people each year to live fulfilled and abundant lives - free from homelessness and the challenges (like poverty, trauma, addiction and isolation) that keep people trapped in homelessness.

My 3 colleagues and I, one of Bethany's relay teams, are hoping to raise £650.00 together - my personal target is £200.

Some of ways that your donations could help Bethany Christian Trust include:

£50 - For someone in recovery and attending Bethany's recovery groups £50 covers the cost for a person’s first recovery one-to-one, refreshments and their own Recovery Bible.

£33 provides a young person with Therapeutic Befriending or Counselling from our UpStream project for young people with poor mental health or who are struggling at school.

£21 can help someone who would otherwise sleep rough, to receive a supported space in our Rapid-Accommodation Welcome Centre.

£200 will fund employability training for a teenager during the summer holidays, helping them break the cycle of homelessness by gaining stable employment upon leaving school.

£30 can facilitate a vital first meeting with a project worker for a family about to lose their home.

£150 furnishes a flat with a small electrics bundle (microwave, toaster & kettle) for a new tenant.
