A few weeks ago, I was privileged to be invited to meet with Jo Kitching the CEO of the charity Doorway Wiltshire to find out more about the amazing work they do!

This has inspired me to take part in their SleepOut2024 fundraising event!!

Taking place on Saturday 27th April 2024, I will ditch my bed and sleep out to help raise awareness and vital funds for the charity and for those who are forced to sleep out every night!

If you are able to please do consider supporting this amazing organisation by sponsoring me and my team.

Thank you for your support!

Background

More than 1600 households became homeless in Wiltshire last year - being homeless is isolating and often results in poverty, isolation, poor mental health and substance misuse, and a lack of access to local services means people struggle to improve their situation without help.

Doorway offers practical support to single adults over 16 by providing warmth, hot food, showers, clean clothes and company; it improves access to local services by making direct referrals to housing, health, addiction and other professionals; and it helps build confidence and skills through group activities.
