St Martins services are needed now more than ever. With the recent increase in the cost of living, many individuals who were just about managing are now struggling to pay their bills, leading to an alarming rise in homelessness. The increase in National Insurance has resulted in more job losses since May than we have seen in the last four years. Life is undeniably tough for many; at St Martins, we stand by those who find themselves at their lowest points.

However, as a charity, we too face challenges. Our operational costs have surged just as the demand for our services has reached unprecedented levels – it truly is a perfect storm. This is why I am participating in "A Night in the Cloisters" on January 30th, as part of the St Martins Sleep Out event. It’s a powerful opportunity to raise vital funds for our incredible charity.

I understand that times are difficult for everyone, but if you are able to sponsor me for this event, I would be immensely grateful. Every penny makes a difference and helps us continue our essential work supporting those in need. Thank you for considering this request and for your support.
