DID YOU KNOW?

By the end of last year, an estimated one in 58 people were homeless in London. That’s one in 58 people rough sleeping, sofa surfing, or managing in temporary accommodation with no idea of what the future holds.

How do you solve a problem so big you can't get your head around it?

You use your imagination...

Change only happens when WE ALL use our creativity, our networks, our talents and our energy to MAKE a difference, After all we are all ONE paycheck away from homelessness!!

That's why I’m taking on this challenge of making 58 cards AND walking 580,000 steps during the month of June to reflect the long journey that so many people I work with every day make, when they come to Evolve. From care leavers and young people to vulnerable adults all who would otherwise be sleeping rough. Evolve provides a home for people experiencing some of the most difficult circumstances you can imagine. Our passionate team walks with people and supports them throughout their journey towards better health and mental health, resilience, new opportunities, and eventually back in to living independently.

I love working for Evolve having the opportunity to support people on their journey back to independence every single day is amazing. It can be hard and I have heard heartbreaking stories throughout my time working at Evolve BUT I can honestly say its one of the MOST rewarding jobs you could ever do, to see the complete difference in a person after supporting them is beautiful, particularly when they return to your service to let you know how well they are doing and to say thank you!

By donating to my Move58 challenge, you’ll help Evolve continue to provide extensive and holistic support to those who need it, from fulfilling the basic needs many of us take for granted such as Somewhere safe and warm to stay to running vital support programs, in-house workshops that encourage community connections and prevent isolation. Your donations will also enable access to training, education and employment as well as access to specialist therapy to help address past traumas and experiences that may lead to homelessness and stop people breaking free of it.

Please sponsor me to reach my goal of 580,000 steps AND making 58 Cards for Auction next month!!! Finding the time is not going to be easy, but I love challenge!!!

To see the 58MoveCards go to Handmadeby.nic or evolveldn on Instagram

I'm hoping to raise £580 by June 30th 2023 but it would be amazing to hit £1000!

Thank you for supporting me and donating!
