A few years ago, inspired by both Matt Callanan and my eldest daughter Lily, motivated about injustices and inequality, and 100% supported with ideas from my two younger daughter Rosie and Holly, we set about trying to help with homelessness in our home city Birmingham.
This culminated in the 5 of us buying (with kindly donated cash from my mother Kate) home made crackers (with emergency blankets inside), gifts including socks, toothpaste, brushes, and also underwear and gloves, and Christmas cards that the girls wrote out with personalised names as we met people on the street. The subsequent year we did this again with our friends the Maidens, Curry's and Archenhold's - some of whom you can meet in the ITV video on My CV page. Then 2020 COVID struck and many homeless people were housed in hotels - shows when there is willing, things can happen. Regrettably and depressingly as COVID eased, or the frog was boiled depending on your perspective, people were back out on the street. Reflecting back on this experience, our family was again inspired with this gofundme campaign. Read on here.
