Story
At FDRY, we believe in giving back. On February 5th, we're partnering with Depaul UK for a 'Weighted Walk'—a powerful initiative to support young people experiencing homelessness. Carrying weighted rucksacks, we aim to highlight the daily burdens they face while raising essential funds for life-changing services like housing, counselling, and education.
Our team will take on a 21km half marathon, starting from our Victoria office and weaving through Fulham, Chelsea, Wandsworth, and Battersea before returning to Victoria. Each of us will carry a 15kg rucksack—a symbol of the relentless struggles these young people endure.
Join us in making a difference. Together, we can lighten their load.
Depaul UK have been working to end homelessness for over 30 years, and offer specialist services to help young people experiencing or at-risk of homelessness.
They do this by:
Providing emergency and longer-term housing to people in need.
Preventing youth homelessness with mediation services and workshops in schools.
Supporting young people to access education, training and employment opportunties.
Their work would not be possible without the generosity of fundraisers and donors like you.
