I've worked for the Society of St James for nearly 10 years now, and I've seen countless times just how much difference the charity makes to people's lives. Donations to SSJ will go directly towards improving life for our service users, such as clothes & toiletries.

I got back into running last year after a long break and now I'm running a half-marathon in May 2026 to raise funds to help even more people across Hampshire.

We all need extra support sometimes and by running for #TeamSSJ or by giving a donation you will be helping SSJ to walk beside people experiencing homelessness. The vital funds you raise will help to provide the accommodation and bespoke support to people experiencing homelessness.

Your support will enable SSJ to help people navigate their way through the complex system of resources we should all have equal access to. Everyone deserves support, but not everyone has access to the support they require.

🏃‍♀️‍➡️ A £20 donation could provide essential items for someone moving into a hostel like toiletries, cutlery and crockery.

🏃‍♀️‍➡️ A £30 donation could provide a skills qualification for someone who has experienced long-term homelessness.

🏃‍♀️‍➡️ A £35 donation could provide an emergency ID for someone who has been sleeping rough.

🏃‍♀️‍➡️ A donation of £100 or more could help us to provide vital mental health support for people who have experienced rough sleeping for a long time.
