Hi everyone I’ve decided to take on the Step forward for Homelessness campaign for Crisis to help raise funds for the amazing work they do. I’m going to be walking everyday throughout March - with my trusty sidekick Chip, and I’m sure Daniel and Phil will be with me too!, to smash my target of 270,800 steps–to represent the number of families and individuals who will experience the worst forms of homelessness in England by 2041. This truly saddens me and is something I want to try and change with your support. The funds raised from donations to my page will help people like Jana. After her mother died, Jana was constantly moving around and was eventually sofa surfing. Her health declined and she couldn’t work and got into debt. The local council helped Jana and placed her into a hostel, but unfortunately she had to leave her beloved dogs behind. Crisis helped when she was in the hostel and Jana took part in a number of courses including arts and crafts and a Renting Ready course which helped prepare her when moving into her own place. It was during the first lockdown in 2020 when Jana got the keys to her own flat and Crisis provided support with furniture and money management. Stories like these are the inspiration for me to make sure I keep myself on track with my target. Everyone deserves a safe and secure home. Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
