Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I am aiming to raise £600+ for St. Mungo's by cycling 100 miles!
St. Mungo's are a charity that support people experiencing homelessness across London and the South of England. Over 3000 people were sleeping rough in London between July and September last year alone, and in 2018, 440 homeless people died on the streets or in temporary accommodation.
These statistics would be shocking in any country or society, but they are even more so in the 4th wealthiest country in the world. The UK government can and should be doing more to prevent homelessness, but until they do, charities like St. Mungo's provide essential support to vulnerable people.
Homelessness can affect anyone at any time. Rising house prices, redundancies, and family emergencies can all contribute to people losing their homes, or feeling so unsafe in your home that sleeping rough is the more preferable choice.
