Story
For this year's Big Marathon Month, I will be joining some of my colleagues in completing 26.2 miles of litter picking throughout the month of May 🗑️
We'll raise funds and awareness for our work at Emmaus UK, a charity that aims to help people with every step out of homelessness.
By picking litter in our local areas (we're a remote working team), not only do we aim to raise money, but we also want to give back to our local communities just like Emmaus does.
This month is about being active, giving back, and doing something that improves your own wellbeing.
More about Emmaus
Emmaus is a movement of communities that empowers people to overcome homelessness by providing more than just a home. They offer a life-changing package of tailored support.
Through one-to-one support, skills development, training and work experience, Emmaus helps people rebuild confidence and achieve their goals.
Homelessness has risen by 8% in just one year, and our work is more critical than ever.
All funds raised will support Emmaus’ mission to end homelessness for as many people as possible, in a sustainable way.
