I'm taking on the 100 Miles Challenge this year to support Social Bite
I'm taking on the 100 Miles Challenge this year to support Social Bite break the cycle of homelessness, completing 100 miles throughout September and finishing on World Homeless Day on October 10th.This challenge will raise vital funds to expand the innovative work of Social Bite in providing homes, jobs, and food. Social Bite believes everyone deserves a safe place to call home, that a job can be truly transformative for someone who has experienced homelessness, and that food is one of the most powerful engagement tools to help signpost people to access the support needed.
I would be grateful if you could support my fundraising efforts with a donation to this page.
Every £20 donation could help Social Bite to provide x4 meals for people experiencing homelessness.
Together with your support, we can truly help break the cycle of homelessness.
