I’m beyond excited to announce that after hitchhiking all the way to Porto last year, I’m diving back into the adventure! On the 13th of November, I’ll be joining 200 amazing people for the UK’s biggest charity hitchhike event, hitchhiking from Sheffield to Edinburgh in ONE day! We’ll be completely relying on the kindness of strangers to get us there, all in the name of raising vital funds for incredible community organizations!Together, we’re aiming to make a huge impact and raise as much money as possible for four life-changing charities. These organizations provide support for vulnerable individuals, from asylum seekers and homeless youth to women fleeing violence and those affected by homelessness in Scotland. Every single donation, big or small, will help bring hope, stability, and safety to those who need it most. (I have listed the specific charities and links to their websites below) ASSIST Support individuals who have been unsuccessful in their asylum applications. Many of the individuals ASSIST helps have escaped the unimaginable horrors of war, violence and persecution How they help: they offer emergency accommodation, welfare benefits, assistance in community integration e.g. learning English, local activism. https://www.assistsheffield.org.uk ROUNDABOUT South Yorkshire homeless youth charity.
