Jennybean Takes Hackney Half for St. Mungo's
Fundraising for St Mungo's
Story
Hey Everyone! I hope you consider donating to my JustGiving page for St. Mungo's. I decided to run with St. Mungo's for my Hackney Half in May 2023 as a way to give back. Unlike many charity fundraisers for races, this one is an ad-hoc donation base, and will not affect my chances to run the Hackney Half Marathon. There is no specific fundraising goal nor requirement. It is just one of the many ways I feel I can give back to the community I am starting to call home. I hope to raise awareness for the stories behind the faces that are experiencing homelessness in London, as well as to the heroes working to fight for them
Much love xx
Jennybean
Suggested Donation: £13.1 --but every pence helps, and I am grateful for any support at all! All donations go directly to St. Mungo's.
What St. Mungo's Does [From St.Mungo's Site]
St. Mungo's is on the streets, every day, meeting people sleeping rough. We’re running hostels and emergency accommodation, giving people the time and space they need to recover. And we’re here for the long haul, helping people to learn new skills, find jobs and reconnect.
Last year we ran 1,317 projects managed by 180 services, supporting almost 25,000 people. On any given night our work means almost 3,000 people have a bed, and somewhere safe and warm to stay.
