Hi! Thank you so much for considering to donate to this cause. I am running my first half marathon race in support of a small independent homeless charity called Hackney Night Shelter.

Hackney Night Shelter provides emergency shelter, hot meals and support into settled accommodation every night of the year for people who would otherwise be sleeping on the street. With your donations, HNS can continue their vital work in creating routes out of homelessness.

Homelessness in London is increasing, over 13,000 people were recorded sleeping rough in London in 2024/25, a 10% rise from the previous year, while roughly 210,000 Londoners are now in temporary accommodation, including 102,000 children.

Please give what you can, every £1 helps and is much appreciated.
