Did you know that the average life expectancy for homeless people is just 46 years? Or that a homeless person is fourteen times more likely to be a victim of crime than the general public?
This is why in July I will be cycling 230 miles from London to Paris to raise money for the Big Issue Foundation. The Big Issue Foundation offer homeless people 'a hand up, not a hand-out' by offering people financial independence, the opportunity to earn a small wage, to apply for accommodation and help with health problems.
Please consider donating a small amount to ensure that this vital work continues.
