Joseph's fundraiser for Shelter

Joseph Thomson is raising money for Shelter

Team: Joe & Ben’s Hackney Half Fundraiser

Hackney Half Marathon 2026 · 17 May 2026 ·

A home is a human right. Yet, every day millions of people are being devastated by the housing emergency. Our amazing team of Hackney Half runners are joining the fight to defend the right to a safe home. Because home is everything.

Story

This May I’m going to be running, not to Windsor, but across West Ham land in the Hackney Half Marathon with Ellie, Vicky, John, Kath and Izzy!!

I love eating and reading comics so naturally this is quite rogue. I need some serious spurring on, so any donations would be hugely appreciated.

I’d like to raise money for three different charities, and this page is specifically for Shelter, a charity that works across the UK to help and support people who are sleeping rough.

I strongly believe that homelessness is the most illogical problem in the world, as I can’t understand how in a country like the UK with so much, that there is a single person left alone, out in the cold and generally ignored.

Not only do Shelter support homeless people in finding housing, but they also fight generally for a fairer housing system in the UK. Any donations would go a long way in helping the least wealthy in this country.
