Then please donate to my friend Mick's charity ride. Mick works for a LBS which is part of a social enterprise that supports vulnerable and homeless people. At the end of this month he'll be riding from King's Cross in London, to King Cross in Halifax. He'll be doing this over 5 days or so, visiting major cities along the way and sleeping rough every night. No tent, no shelter.

His target is £10k and he's raised ~£1.7k so far. Whatever you can spare would be much appreciated, thanks 🙂

Done & bump 🙂

That's really going to take a toll on him, fair play.

Bump for a deserving cause and someone that's undertaking a bloody hard challenge.

I couldn't cycle the distance, let along sleep rough for every night of it.

Done.

Saw some poor sods sleeping rough earlier.

Two fatalities last year from hypothermia in my town amongst the homeless.

Local council didn't even bother to apply for grant to help the homeless over the winter it turns out. Bunch of xxxxxxs! 👿

Lucky we have charities to help these men and woman out!

A small donation.
I've spent 15 years volunteering in the homeless sector; the homeless and society generally are let down by local and central government.
