About us:

The Connection have been supporting people sleeping rough to move away from the streets for over 100 years. We get to know each person we work with. Many have been pushed to the edge, and they all have their own challenges to overcome.

Everyone needs to find their own way home, but we go with them every step of the journey. It often starts with a chat, the offer of a coffee and perhaps a hot meal or shower. Simple things that aren’t easy when you are living on the streets. We work with people to recover from the streets so that they can move on to a meaningful, fulfilling and settled life, long into the future.

What support will we give you?

– A high-quality running vest, personalised with your name.
– Advice on training along with tips throughout your journey
– Expert fundraising support from our dedicated events team to help you achieve your fundraising target
– A fundraising pack full of great ideas

What difference will you be making?

  • £1,000 could support 5 people into employment, so they can leave the streets behind them for good.
  • £750 could fund 30 full initial assessments for newly homeless people, creating their action plans and giving them access to hot nutritious meals, showers, laundry and GP services
