Everyone deserves a roof over their head and a place they can call home.

We never know what lies around the corner, and for some poor souls without a close support network, they find themselves in the devastating situation of facing life on the streets. Perish the thought!

In partnership with Lloyds Banking Group and our partner Crisis, I am taking part in our Signature Challenge trek to end homelessness.

This will be a 3 day trek up to the peak of the Atlas Mountains, Toubkal in Morocco. This is the highest point in North Africa at 4167 metres.

That's the equivalent of 3 times up and down Ben Nevis, or 4 times up and down Snowdon!

In addition to this, and to help raise funds, I will be hosting Reading’s first Fleadh (Irish music and ceili night) where all proceeds will go to Crisis. If it’s a success, I’m happy to run it annually ☘️ Details to follow soon, but once we finalise the band and setup , it’ll likely take place October/November.

If you can, please dig deep for this truly worthy cause to end homelessness.

Thank you so much for your kind and generous support.
