Gill’s story
This will be my third year of fundraising for Threshold Housing Link and as we all see in the media there are even more people struggling to keep a roof over their heads, Now, more than ever before, we are in desperate need of organisations such as them. It is incredible how humbling it is sleeping outside for just one night without any trappings, but with the security of knowing you are safe, whilst thinking about those that have to do this every night without that protection.
However, homelessness is not just about rough sleepers, but those that are sofa surfing or being constantly moved round different types of temporary accommodation. It is also those people and families that don't have a permanent place to call home, where they can settle and not be constantly having to move. This should be a fundamental right as without this it leads to long term health issues, problems getting a job and for children, being able to get a quality education and make friends. For most of us this is something we take for granted, but I would ask you to take a few minutes to reflect on how not having a home may affect you and having paused for that short period of time, please consider supporting this cause.
Thank you.
