 We are just 5 young people who want to make a difference and change his life forever. We aim to completely change his life in all aspects by providing him with a home, essentials, makeover and a professional suit alongside specialist employment and key worker support from Sheffield City Council workers. 

 We are hosting an event where the money made from ticket purchases and donations will fund the start to a new life for a local homeless man.

We Invite you to the event which will be 3-6 months after the funding to give time for the man we are helping to transition, but you will eventually see him turn from homeless to professional. Every donation gets you a ticket to attend, so support him today, and be a part of his journey. 

At the event, VIP guest speakers will tell their inspirational stories, after, the person who we are helping into their new life will share stories, photos and videos from their journey which was made possible by ticket sales and donations.

#Our Inspiration

Over the last year, the team has grown close friends with him, we have noticed his authenticity and integrity through his kind heart and his true love for the people even though many do not flicker an eyelid at him.

He is ambitious, capable and determined to turn his life around, and he needs our help.

He has had a challenging life, with many struggles just like many other homeless people across the UK and the best way to battle homelessness is one person at a time.
