Make every step count to help homeless

WE’VE never been more aware of how important it is to have a safe and secure place to call home.

Having a stable roof over our heads ensures we can hold down a job, provide for our families and maintain our mental and physical health.

Yet, across Great Britain hundreds of thousands of people are facing the devastation of homelessness.

This includes night after night spent walking the streets because it’s not safe to sleep, hunkering down in a freezing car after a hard day at work or being forced to live in run-down temporary accommodation for years because they can’t find a home they can afford.

With the cost-of-living crisis escalating we know that more and more people are struggling to keep their head above water as they feel their budgets are squeezed from every direction.

We know it doesn’t have to be this way.

All year round Crisis works with thousands of people to help them take their first steps out of homelessness and build a life away from it for good.

We won’t stop until homelessness has no place in our society, but we need your help.

Next month we’re asking you to take as many steps as you can towards a future without homelessness.

How you do it is up to you – you can walk, run, hop or jump towards a distance of your choosing, all to raise money for people experiencing homelessness and help to put them on a path to a secure home.

Whether you aim to reach a record distance, incorporate your steps into your daily exercise routine, go it alone or with friends and family, we’ve got lots of advice and support to help you meet your target distance and keep up your fundraising.

So, dust off those trainers, pump up those tyres and get skipping, wheeling or walking to raise vital funds towards a future without homelessness.

Join Crisis and make every step count this March as together we stride towards a society where homelessness has no place.
