I'm on a cycling Pilgrimage from Lindisfarne eventually to Dublin to see the book of Kells, via Iona...where I will arrive today 19th May.

The cycling is hard, I expected that...but sleeping under canvas in MAY has been sooo hard. (I've managed two cold wet and v windy nights so far, actually terrifying!)

It's made me even more aware how vital shelter is. For everyone a place of warmth, safety and security.

So if you wish please sponsor me via this page....and from my crazy pilgrimage something good can come.

You could consider an amount per night. I'll start the bidding at £10 per night...don't worry I've only managed 2 so far!!!

Only give if you can and thank you for all your support

The housing crisis is a national emergency. Right now, thousands of people are trying to get by without a safe place to call home.

We believe that a safe home is a fundamental need and basic moral right. Our legendary fundraisers who are organising a Sleep Out are joining the fight for home by fundraising to support families and individuals facing homelessness. Because home is everything.
