At 11 years old, I went on a life-changing charity trip to India with my mum where I witnessed extreme poverty and homelessness. Ever since this visit, I have been very passionate about helping to end homelessness and St Mungo's is a wonderful charity trying to do just that.

On 12th November, I will be taking on the ArcelorMittal Orbit — the UK's highest freefall abseil — and hope to raise at least £300 for St Mungo's.

I became aware of the incredible work St Mungo's does last year when I participated in my company's Christmas shoebox appeal. The charity provides a bed and support to more than 3,100 people a night who are either homeless or at risk of homelessness.

Their mission is simple: to give everyone a place to call 'home' and the support to fulfill their hopes and ambitions.

Here's what your donation could go towards:

• £25 helps keep the charity's outreach vans running for a week.

• £50 funds a counselling session for a person who is homeless.

• £100 buys resources for the charity's Recovery Colleges.

Thank you for all the support so far! It is greatly appreciated. 🧗
