“At our drop in, one of the hardest parts is watching them walk out of the door and not knowing where they will sleep and if they will be ok!” Dave Cawley, project lead Sunderland Basis

"Dave works with my Mummy. Mummy say's he is one of the most caring people you will ever meet. Dave gives everyone a chance and another and another. So I want to raise money to help him care for people so that they feel loved" said Grace (9)

I'm going to walk at least one mile a day – covering at least 40 miles in 40 days, to raise money and awareness for all those walking daily on the streets in search of hope. When they come to Mummy's work, they receive a cuppa; a biscuit and a listening ear. No judgement.

A shower; a clean change of clothing; an opportunity to see a nurse if needed and someone to help advocate on their behalf.

We know times are tough so if you cannot spare any money, drop your MP a message asking them to raise the issue of homelessness and the over reliance on temporary accommodation in Parliament. However, if you can sponsor me then that would make us happy.
