No one should be homeless. Therefore I’m stepping outside of my comfort zone to take part in my first 24 hour endurance relay run.

HARP is Southend’s leading homelessness charity. They provide housing, advice and support to over 1,000 people each year who are experiencing homelessness or are at risk of losing their home. They help them lay the foundations they need to rebuild their lives and end the need for rough sleeping for good.

Working alongside the local community, they provide street outreach every night supporting people into emergency accommodation. When people’s basic needs are met, the real work begins. The ongoing support is tailored to each individual’s needs and includes finding permanent accommodation, building life skills; overcoming challenges such as addiction or health conditions, and in time, helping people back into work, education, or training.

For every £1 you donate to the team, 96 pence will go directly to the frontline to support people experiencing homelessness in Southend-on-Sea. HARP cannot continue their vital work without your support.

I know money is tight for lots of people but thanks in advance! 😊
