Story
In early September I will be part of a Federated Hermes Limited team tackling Britain’s highest peaks ⛰ - Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon - all in the space of 24hrs ⏰ . It will include a total of 480 miles of road travel, and climbing a total of approx 3,000 vertical metres.
We will be raising much needed funds for Shelter UK. Shelter is the UK’s leading housing and homelessness charity. Right now, thousands of people are trying to get by without a safe place to call home. Home is a human right. It's our foundation and it's where we thrive. Yet, everyday millions of people are being devastated by the housing emergency. Shelter exists to defend the right to a safe home.
Shelter has warned that winter could be one of the toughest yet for thousands of people, as 70% of callers to our emergency helpline in England are telling us the cost-of-living crisis is making their housing situation even worse. Shelter’s England helpline has recently found: 🆘 Almost 8 in 10 (78%) callers are already homeless or at risk of homelessness, this is compared with 7 in 10 (70%) during the same period in 2021 ⚠️ More than 1,000 calls on average are made to the emergency helpline every day, almost 95,000 in total
Thank you in advance for your generosity and contribution. Your support is greatly appreciated.#charity @federatedhermes
