My Story
Right now, over 300,000 people in the UK are homeless. While blocks of flats bought with hoarded wealth remain vacant, the housing crisis remains a national emergency, displacing millions of people and leaving hundreds of thousands of children without a place to call home.
Shelter is a vital charity that campaigns for housing justice from the community level all the way to the top. It provides legal and practical advice for those being threatened with homelessness; conducts research into the root causes of the housing crisis; and amplifies the voices of those affected by homelessness.
For these reasons, I’ll be doing a few things this year to fundraise for Shelter:
- Running the London Marathon
- Running the Hackney Half Marathon
- Completing a 24-hour live-streamed DJ mix with some pals
Any money that you can spare would be greatly appreciated, and if you’re not in the position to donate right now, it would be amazing if you could share this page with friends and family! Thanks so much in advance :)
