Thank you for donating to my JustGiving page.

I am raising money for Justlife, a charity I have recently been working with. I’ve seen first-hand the incredible work they do supporting people experiencing homelessness through temporary accommodation.

There are currently, around 135,000 households across the UK living in temporary accommodation that is unsafe, unstable and deeply damaging. Around 86,000 of them include children. Families can be placed in B&Bs, hostels and short‑stay rooms with no cooking facilities, no privacy, and no support. People can spend months or even years stuck in places never designed for long-term living. It’s hidden homelessness, and it’s one of the most desperate and overlooked parts of the housing crisis.

Nationally, Justlife push for better standards, safer accommodation, and policies that protect people who are at their most vulnerable, and make sure the realities of temporary accommodation are not ignored.

Locally, in Greater Manchester, Justlife works alongside people every day, offering practical support, advocacy, creative projects, community spaces and a lifeline for those who have nowhere else to turn.

I’m running this half marathon because everyone deserves safety, stability and dignity, and because Justlife is one of the few organisations fighting for people who are too often forgotten.

Thank you so much for supporting me and supporting Justlife. Your donation genuinely makes a difference.
