Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our page.

Only a few hours ago, the horrible news was broken by The
Mirror (www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/cambridge-tory-student-sets-fire-9786435) that a Conservative student at Cambridge University filmed himself burning a £20 note in front of a homeless person on the street of Cambridge screaming “some homeless shelter” and documenting the incident on Snapchat. In response to this, team at new media outlet EvolvePolitics.com felt compelled to set up this crowdfunder for Jimmy’s Shelter in Cambridge.

We all feel that some good should come out of this wicked and despicable act. The more we give to this brilliant cause – the clearer we make it that this kind of behaviour will be countered with acts of kindness that will always outweigh it a hundred times over.

Jimmy's is a Cambridge-based charity that welcomes 22 homeless men & women providing accommodation, support and resettlement. It is a place of hope where change is not just a possibility but a reality. They strive to enable people to regain confidence and independence and develop a settled lifestyle.

Please dig deep, folks!
