Story
I am going to try to walk 10,000 steps a day in the month of June in aid of the Ferry Project, a homelessness charity based in Wisbech, UK. I'm conscious that due to a combination of dire life events, homelessness may be closer than any of us may think.
Every step of my possible 300,000 steps in June will represent a homeless person in the UK right now. There are currently 309,000 homeless people in the UK (according to research published by Shelter in December 2023).
Did you know that a homeless person in a rural area has no choice but to walk 30,000 steps (13 miles) every day just to access the services they need to meet their basic needs?
So please support my efforts by donating what you can and help to make a difference in the lives of homeless people supported by the Ferry Project.
Thank you.
