Story
On 20th November, I will be once again sleeping outdoors for one night alongside other fellow business leaders, business owners, execs and directors as we unite together to help in the fight against homelessness.
This year I'm delighted that Ben Waterhouse will also be taking on this challenge with me.
We will be giving up the comfort of our warm beds to raise funds for ‘Walking with the Wounded’ a leading military charity that we're proud to be partnered with at Schroders Personal Wealth.
Walking With The Wounded gets those who have served and their families back on their feet. Whether mentally, socially or physically wounded, the charity helps deliver the care and support that these people need to function in society, serving in the communities
in which they live, reigniting their sense of purpose and making a
positive contribution again.
The charity does four things: employment, mental health, care coordination and volunteering which are saving jobs, homes, relationships and lives for the veterans who are struggling since leaving the military.
In 2022, WWTW supported 2304 veterans and delivered approx 4,600hrs of mental health therapy delivered
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast
and secure:
- £10 can provide a veteran with fuel for a job interview
- £25 can help pay a person's electric bill
- £50 can pay for a food shop
- £75 can provide temporary accommodation
Nobody can give everything, but everyone can give something so please donate what you can.
Thanks
Mark & Ben
