Hello! I am running the Cambridge Half Marathon on 9th March 2025 (my first ever half marathon…!) to raise money for Jimmy’s, Cambridge, a community-based charity providing both support and housing to people who are rough sleeping. If you donate, you’ll be helping Jimmy’s continue their vital work and you’ll be motivating me to keep plodding along in my training and the half marathon itself!
About Jimmy’s:
Jimmy’s is a community-based charity providing both support and housing to people who are rough sleeping.
Within Jimmy's centres, residents can access support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Once residents are ready to move into Jimmy’s supported housing they keep in touch regularly with their individual support worker. This relationship often continues even after the individuals are ready to transition on from Jimmy’s housing.
Jimmy’s aim is to offer targeted, wraparound support to promote mental wellbeing and help our residents fulfil their goals. We use evidence-based support to improve our services and impact and to be a voice for change.
