We help prevent homelessness in Reading to make Reading a better place for everyone

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Homelessness is on the rise, nationally it has risen more than 169% since 2010, with Reading a particular hotspot*

I've walked past too many homeless people and thought "what a shame", chucking them a few quid every now and then.

I'd like to do more, that's why I'm fundraising on behalf of LaunchPad, with my first event being the Slough Half Marathon on the 14th of Oct.

More than 440 homeless people have died on streets or in temporary accommodation in the UK in the past year.** 

We should be doing more to support, here's my little bit, would be grateful if you helped too.
