Story

My 9-year-old son Oliver wants 2020 to be the year that no one has to sleep on the street or without a roof over their head. Please read his story below and if you can donate a few pence, he would be "super happy!" 


'Hi I'm Oliver. On the 31st December 2019 it was very cold. Outside liddle in barton I spotted a tent. I thought it was a homeless person so I went back in the shop, bought some chocolate and a zip up hoodie and put them in a bag. I left the bag outside the tent for the homeless person then I thought to raise money for this charity so I can help more homeless people get a house or somewhere warm to stay. 

If I reach my target I will learn how to dance the YMCA song with my mum and share the video with you when it's ready. even though it will be really embarrassing!!!

(Remember a single pence can change a life.)

Thank you for helping my charity.'
