Story

DEPAUL UK'S WEIGHTED WALK

Were asking people to help carry the weight for homeless and at risk young people to give them a safe place to stay and the support they need. Take on our Weighted Walk and raise funds to give emergency accommodation and tailored support to young people experiencing homelessness.

Some young people have to leave home at short notice with whatever they can carry. With your support, Depaul UK is there to help them out of homelessness. Can you pack your bag and help carry the weight?

You'll be helping to support young people like Jo: Jo was fleeing from domestic and sexual abuse and had no choice but to pack a bag and leave.

Yeah, I literally had an argument with my mum the night before. And she sort of said, that he (my step dad) was always going to be around, so if I dont like it, I should just go, leave. I packed my bags the next morning. I went to stay with my friend. It was all really quick.

Can you carry the weight for young people like Jo? You can carry anything. Books, pets, water bottles, the list is endless.

You can walk where you want! Take a walk in the countryside, your local park, city or explore somewhere youve never been to before.

You can choose the distance! Take on laps of your park, complete a 10k, or a marathon! The choice is yours.

Set up your Just Giving page today and raise vital funds for homeless and at risk young people.
