Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving fundraising page!

Please help to support the Booth Centre, a charity which helps homeless people rebuild their lives in Manchester.

After moving to Manchester two years ago, I have been shocked by the level of homelessness in the city and by raising funds through the 10K I am hoping to contribute something towards making a positive change in the city.

Before training for the 10k, I had never run anywhere in my life and so this is going to be particularly challenging for me!

The Booth Centre provides advice to find accommodation, education/training and help to find employment. It also provides free healthy meals, support in tackling addiction, and also works to improve the confidence and self esteem of those who are vulnerable in our community.

The Booth Centre relies completely on donations. If you are someone who gives change to those you see sleeping on pavements, or buys someone a cup of coffee if they are stuck outside in the rain, please donate here - your money is better spent going towards charities which aim to tackle the root of the problem, rather than providing a quick fix for homeless people.
