It's hard not to notice the homelessness problem in our country, and it's especially clear in our city of Manchester. This is a wonderful city and everyone deserves the simple amenities to live a happy life here. That's why I'm running the half marathon in support of The Big Change Manchester - a campaign that is providing respect and hope to many people. I'm not much of a runner, but I couldn't pass up the chance to support such a fantastic cause! 

The Big Change Manchester is a group of Manchester charities, organisations and voluntary sector agencies providing services for homeless people who have come together to tackle homelessness in the city. The Big Change is working together to provide sustainable, long-term solutions to homelessness. 

Money donated to the Big Change campaign fund and will provide homeless people with the practical items they need to build new lives off the streets. This can include help with furnishing a new flat, purchasing crockery, pots and pans and bed linen, and travel to new accommodation. As people are coming off the streets need money urgently, there won't be a lengthy application process and funds can be issued almost immediately by accredited members of homeless organisations. Please donate as much or as little as you can :). 

Thank you!
