My Story

Help Me Make a Difference for the Homeless in Manchester

Life has been incredibly busy lately, and I almost didn't participate in the CEO Sleepout this year. However, given the current situation in the UK—where hotels are being filled with economic migrants while our own citizens facing homelessness are deprioritized—I felt compelled to take action once again. This issue directly impacts the people of Manchester, and I believe there’s no better charity to partner with than Coffee 4 Craig,having witnessed first hand the incredible work they do.

Founded in 2013 by Risha and Hendrix Lancaster in memory of Risha's brother, Craig, Coffee4Craig has since provided invaluable resources to those in need. Their comprehensive services include nutritious meals, essential support, referrals, showers, and a safe and welcoming space where individuals can access the care they deserve. 

Coffee4Craig opens its doors when daytime services close, offering a vital refuge for those who sleep during the day, those new to the streets, or anyone in need of an evening meal. With different challenges arising on weekends and evenings, Coffee4Craig is there to support our guests with dignity and humanity, providing them with much-needed respite.

I have until Monday to raise essential funds for this fantastic cause. Please consider donating generously to help me reach my target.

 Every contribution makes a difference, and together, we can help those in need.

Thank you so much for your support!

Much love,
