Phil's running the Hackney Half

Aim

I'm running the Hackney Half to raise money for the People's Recovery Project, a London charity dealing with addiction and homelessness.

The People’s Recovery Project is an innovative charity that seeks to make recovery achievable and sustainable for people experiencing homelessness and addiction. 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.

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.

If you can spare any change to support this charity's unique, holistic approach, it would be hugely appreciated. Your money will mean individuals who need it can go to quality residential detox and rehab programs. Thank you - Phil.
