Story
✨ GumGum's VOICE Coalition EMEA are excited to announce that we will be hosting a volunteer hike to support the fight against homelessness in our community.
✨ Hike for Homelessness symbolises the journey that individuals experiencing homelessness may take, as they move towards finding a permanent home and a more stable living situation.
✨ By participating in a hike, we can help break down stereotypes and misconceptions about homelessness, and promote empathy and understanding towards those who are experiencing this challenging situation.
✨ Walking 15 miles is supposed to represent the number of steps a homeless person may take in a day. Remember, a homeless person who is constantly on the move may not have access to transportation and will take considerably more steps in a day than someone who is able to stay in one location for a longer period of time.
The charity that we will be supporting is Impact On the Streets.
Impact on the Street was founded by a group of friends who, after learning the homeless crisis in London was at an all time high, wanted to do what they could to help the situation. Their aim was to make a difference and they felt they could do this by creating care packages. They have now distributed to over 1000 homeless people in Greater London.
The packages include:
SLEEPING BAG
THERMAL CLOTHING
UNDERWEAR
FOIL BLANKET
HAND WARMERS
TOILETRIES
WOMEN’S SANITARY PRODUCTS
THERMAL FLASK
TEA, COFFEE ETC
NON PERISHABLE SNACKS (CHOCOLATE, CRISPS ETC)
POT NOODLE
FIRST AID KITS
GumGum's VOICE Coalition have come together to support this amazing charity. Please can you support us too?
