Hackney Half Marathon (18th May) in support of TPR

📣 Fundraising Update

Thanks to your overwhelming generosity, we’ve already soared past our original fundraising target—faster than I ever imagined (two hours to be exact)! I’m so grateful for each and every one of you who helped get us this far. Because we reached our first goal so quickly, I’ve decided to aim higher (now £800 rather than £400) so we can create an even bigger impact for The People’s Recovery Project. Your support truly means the world, and any amount you can give will help transform someone’s life. Let’s keep this momentum going and continue working together for those who need it most. Thank you so much for everything—you’re making a real difference!

🫵🏽 Friends & Family,

I’m on a mission to raise funds for a cause that’s incredibly close to my heart—The People’s Recovery Project—and I’d be thrilled to have your support. By donating, you’ll help me reach my fundraising goal while also giving individuals in desperate need a genuine shot at rebuilding their lives. Every contribution—no matter how small—helps spark real change. Let’s come together and make a tangible difference for people who need it most. Thank you so much for anything you can give!

❤️ About the charity -- The People’s Recovery Project

The project is designed to create an alternative pathway and package of support for people in this situation to access residential treatment: co-designed and co-delivered by community members with lived experience.

● In 2023 over 1400 people died while experiencing homelessness and over one third of these deaths were related to drugs and alcohol.

● Over two thirds of people who are experiencing homelessness have a drug or alcohol support need.

● In recent years there has been an annual increase in the number of people who are dying due to drug related causes in the United Kingdom

In the current paradigm we know that drug related deaths in the UK are increasing and opportunities to access recovery are extremely limited for people living on the streets. However, when people are given the opportunity to access residential detox and rehab the results can be transformative for the individual concerned.

The People’s Recovery Project is inspired by real journeys made by individuals experiencing homelessness and addiction through treatment and into recovery. These examples are currently the exception and through shared purpose our community is seeking to make recovery achievable and sustainable for people in this situation.

We are building a community that has the knowledge and understanding to support people on transformative journeys and create an environment where great people can become greater people.
