Depaul UK is a national homelessness charity with a focus on young people. 'Team Focus' will be helping to carry the weight for young people experiencing homelessness. On 12th March Laura Currie, Barry Higgott, Lisa Moseling, Hazel Dawson, Tony Edge, Victoria Weaving-Shorrocks, Dani Ives, Joanne Emerson, and Bob Schumacher, along with industry colleagues, will be carrying rucksacks full of donated items on a 10k sponsored 'weighted walk' from London City Airport to Depaul UK's offices in Southwark, and raising money to help keep essential services running, giving young people experiencing homelessness the chance of a brighter future.

We are proud to have partnered with Depaul UK who have been working to end homelessness for over 30 years, and offer specialist services to help young people experiencing or at-risk of homelessness.When a young person flees their home, they often pack a bag quickly and leave with whatever they can carry. With nowhere to go and no one to turn to many are forced into unsafe situations. Not only is a young person fleeing home carrying the weight of their belongings but also the worry and stress of an unknown future.

The money raised will help provide emergency and temporary accommodation, counselling and mediation, education, and training; as well as the life skills a young person needs. Thank you.
