I'm joining thousands of people across the world this month living on £1 a day for 5 consecutive days to raise money and awareness of extreme poverty. It's going to be a challenge not splashing out on even a cup of tea in the library or a chocolate bar during revision, but it's an amazing chance to understand just how lucky I am, and to raise money for people less fortunate. I've chosen to support Moving On Durham, a charity that works to break the cycle of youth homelessness in County Durham. They offer support to improve the health and wellbeing of those at risk so they are less vulnerable and can lead happier, more productive lives.
