Story

Anyone who knows me, knows I love a challenge!  At the start of April, I am doing Everest Base Camp - two years in the planning (before Covid was even a thing!) - it’s all getting very real and exciting now!

With c. 58 hrs walking on the cards to get me to EBC and the potential challenges of altitude sickness, what is going to inspire my every step? 

The inspirational women of the Marylebone Project - the largest women’s only homeless project and 24/7 drop-in centre in the UK.

Through my work, I have been humbled to get to know so many vulnerable homeless women who benefit from the amazing work of the Project, learning about their own personal challenges, and how the work of the Marylebone Project has literally transformed their individual journey - grown their resilience, repaired their self-esteem, equipped them with skills for the future and given them safety and hope.

A piece of artwork in one of the communal areas at the Marylebone Project features the pertinent message - ‘the best views comes after the hardest climb’.  Life presents challenges, it is fragile and an individual journey can literally change over night. But with courage, determination and the right care and support challenges can be overcome and journeys changed. 

I hope you can get behind my challenge and support the work of the Marylebone Project in profoundly changing the lives of vulnerable, homeless women in crisis.
