Habitowill also be organising donation drives for much-needed products such as toiletries and volunteering time to share knowledge and skills in St. Mungo’s Recovery College workshops.
Sam Green, mortgage expert atHabito, said: “Since we started supporting St Mungo’s brilliant work, I’ve volunteered on two overnight shifts to capture data on the levels of rough sleeping in London. Each shift has been a very humbling and eye-opening experience.
“Rough sleeping is something that is real, it’s happening in rich and poor communities and it’s important that we pull together to help tackle it and get people back into safe housing. I’m really proud that we’re playing a part in making things better for people who really need help.”
Reta Robinson, director of fundraising at St Mungo’s, added: “Every night, our outreach teams go out to help people sleeping rough to move away from the streets, and we provide a bed and support to over 2,800 people.
“The money raised byHabitowill go towards our vital work to prevent homelessness and support people at every step of their recovery. We’d like to thank everyone atHabitofor their generous support, and wish them good luck as they prepare to take on their fundraising challenges.”
Daniel Hegarty, chief executive and founder ofHabito, said: “St Mungo’s work day and night providing accommodation and training to help rebuild lives. Housing is a topic we naturally feel very close to, and we’re delighted to be able to support their dedicated teams who deliver life changing services day in, day out.”
