Everyone deserves a safe place to call home. But every day in Southend, people are facing homelessness and turning to HARP for help.

HARP is Southend’s local homelessness charity. They provide housing, advice and practical, wrap-around support to over 1,000 people each year who are homeless or at risk of losing their home. From street outreach and emergency accommodation to long-term housing and recovery programmes, HARP walks beside people as they rebuild their lives with dignity and hope.

By taking part in HARP24, I am raising funds to make sure this vital support is there for everyone who needs it — today and in the future.

For every £1 donated, 95p goes directly to the frontline: warm meals, safe places to stay, healthcare access, and one-to-one support that helps people move from crisis to stability.

Please support our challenge and help HARP continue their work so that no one in our community has to face homelessness alone.
