On Friday 3 December, four team members from Heitman (including myself!) will be spending a night sleeping on the streets to raise much-needed funds to support RESTART, a charity that supports London's homeless.

The number of people sleeping rough on the streets of London
surged by a staggering 170% over the last decade. Please consider sponsoring us. Homelessness is such a big problem and four times as many people have come to RESTART for advice and support in the last 12 months than in the previous year.

Donations will be quickly processed and passed to RESTART to support its vital work. Alternatively, if you wished to join usand others in sleeping out and raising funds for RESTART, please visit the RESTART website, where you can register to take part – http://restartlives.org/sleepout2021

This will help Restart fund

- vital advice and support services across London for people with lived experience of homelessness

 - 4,000 free hot meals and a warm welcome at our drop-in every Friday night, this winter and throughout the year

 - mental health support in the form of counselling, mentoring and befriending for people recovering from homelessness

- employability and work-readiness programmes for
people who are getting ready to return to the workplace after a period of homelessness or long-term unemployment 

I have been volunteering with RESTART for over a year now and have been impressed by the services they provide and the support they give to the homeless community. Join me in supporting them!
