Story

Supporting Hackney people out of homelessness

I am running the 2026 Hackney Half in support of Hackney Night Shelter, a charity that provides temporary emergency shelter for people experiencing homelessness, supporting them to find more secure accommodation. It's an organisation I know well as I volunteer there every week. Last year it provided shelter for over 200 people; 88% of those who spent time with us had positive move-ons, usually to more secure and longer-term accommodation.

It does amazing work but relies on fundraising. Any donation you could give -- however small -- would be very gratefully received. Thank you!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
