Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I am running the London Marathon in April for HACT.
The cause I am running for is HACT – the housing action charity, an organisation which pioneers solutions for some of the most marginalised in our society, the old, the poor and the newly arrived. People’s lives and living conditions are always hidden behind closed doors and housing is a way in to create change in community.
All of the money I raise will go towards the HACT Self-Help Housing project, which assists community organisations aiming to bring empty properties back in to use. This project allows for the acquisition of empty properties and the refurbishment of them to make them habitable. These houses are for people who normally wouldn't be offered a permanent tenancy by the local authority or a housing association - all sorts of single people, couples, young people, refugees etc.
Anything you can spare to support this project would be hugely appreciated!
