I planned to climb Snowdon before I turned 50... but I am a little late. On May 17th, I will be climbing Snowdon for the first time and would like to use this opportunity to raise some money and awareness for Off the Streets - a grassroots charity for whom I have been a trustee for the past 7 years. Earlier this year, the charity opened a new shelter - able to provide practical and emotional support and short term accommodation for up to 9 roughsleepers in Southend-on Sea. In order to keep providing this vital service, they need funds and I would be really grateful if people in my network, my family and community could get behind them during a (sadly) very busy time.
