Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Having to sleep rough is challenging. Sometimes it's a choice, sometimes it isn't. I'm raising awareness for the latter.

The amazing charity that I work for is who I'm raising the money for. With times as they are I have set my limit low and would be more than happy if I get half way to it. No matter how much I raise, every penny will go to our charity that supports app. 250 families per month across Nottinghamshire. That's no mean feat being as there are just 6 support workers in our team. If you don't know what Hetty's ( www.hettys.org.uk ) does, we support parents, carers or anyone affected by SOMEONE ELSE'S drug or alcohol use. My role within the team is supporting kinship carers. These are incredible family members or friends who are providing full-time care for children that can't remain with their birth parents. This provides the children the best possible second chance having had a difficult start to childhood. It also keeps them within their family unit.

We always want the people that are using drugs/alcohol to recover, be well, healthy and have every opportunity to thrive again. Some have more obstacles than others and rough sleeping and homelessness is one such obstacle. We believe everyone has the right to shelter.
