Strand Palace are sending their Executive team on Only A Pavement Away's Hike Against Homelessness for the third year in a row.

The overall purpose of Only A Pavement Away's employment programme is to work in partnership with hospitality employers, referral charity partners and, individuals who have experienced or are facing homelessness, to connect them back into work and in doing so, help to tackle some of the staffing and skills shortage within the hospitality sector. Prison leavers have a fantastic work ethic, veterans are used to teamwork and camaraderie, and those who have faced homelessness have the drive not to return to that dark space called destitution.

To date, the charity has placed over 340 members into work, adding an approximate value of over £9.4 million to the economy through reduced support, financial independence and household expenditure.

Only A Pavement Away's ambition is to support 1,000 people who have experienced or faced homelessness into work by 2024 and the funds raised by you for this challenge are vital to ensuring they can achieve this! THANK YOU
