**PLAN B - Sleeping on the floor at home**

2020 will mark the 14th year that I have lived in London, and each year I have seen more and more homeless people on our great capital's streets. There were an estimated 726 deaths of homeless people in England and Wales registered in 2018, the highest year-to-year increase (22%) since our time series began (ons.gov.uk) - London and the North West had the highest numbers of deaths in 2018, with 148 (20% of the total number) and 103 (14% of the total number) estimated deaths of homeless people respectively. The two areas of the UK where I have lived for 32 years of my life. 

I'm joining the Team Self Made led by serial entrepreneurs and best-selling published authors Bianca and Byron Miller-Cole, to fundraise towards our combined fundraising target, and have set my target at £502.00. They are both already doing great work supporting Evolve London

Why £502.00. The combined number of death of homeless people is 251 across 2 areas, multiply them together and you get £502! I'm going to challenge my London tribe to contribute at least £296, and my North West tribe £206! GOOOOOOO!
