Story

2023 will be the 10 year anniversary for my employment at Notting Hill Genesis - what better way to celebrate than running 26 and a bit miles round London. 

I will be running for Notting Hill Genesis (NHG) in order to raise money for their hardship fund which was put in place to help residents in crisis. The fund helps alleviate hardship and short-term crises, which can be anything from a fridge breaking down to being unable to afford groceries for a family or even energy to heat their home. The hardship fund also helps housing officers pay for community events, wellbeing sessions or tenancy sustainment projects that benefit our residents. The fund has played a vital role in supporting residents affected by the pandemic. In the past two years, NHG have awarded £280,000 to help fund household items, school uniforms and supermarket vouchers to those in need.

Notting Hill Genesis (NHG) works in the community, providing homes for lower-income households. This is our primary purpose, and everything else we do supports that aim. Money raised through fundraising contributes to our hardship fund, helping residents during times of hardship and crisis. Sadly, many of our residents struggle to meet basic food and energy costs or pay for essential household items such as beds, fridges, and cookers. This is often due to vulnerability, ill-health, family bereavement or unexpected gaps in benefit claims. Our hardship fund supports around 500 NHG residents per year during these difficult times, with grants to help ease stress and suffering.
