We should all have a place to call home. Across the UK, thousands of people will be without a home this winter.

We're a bunch of locals in Oxford facing the freeze for Crisis by swimming in the River Thames at 9am on Xmas day. Please donate to our page while we take on this icy challenge to help end homelessness!

Thanks so much for all your generous donations. We are all full of cheer and starting to thaw out gently on this crazy Christmas day xxx
