Thank You to OMS and Kee Safety – £1,000 raised through team fundraising challenge

We’d like to say a huge thank you to the team at OMS and Kee Safety who have completed a fundraising challenge this January, raising an amazing £1,000 which they have donated to Action Homeless as their chosen charity.

The team set out to walk a minimum of one mile each lunchtime around their offices, initially as a way to combat the January blues. However, targets were soon set and Action Homeless was selected as the OMS chosen charity for the year, quickly turning the initiative into a proper challenge.

The team went out in the rain and the wind throughout the month and didn’t miss a day. We can’t thank them enough for their dedication and perseverance.

At Action Homeless we are committed to helping people who are experiencing homelessness in Leicester to feel safe, seen and supported this winter. We expect to receive hundreds of calls from people who are homeless or at risk of losing their home. Every night, we’ll provide 230 people with a safe place to sleep along with access to food, clothing and hygiene products. With donations like this one, we can continue to provide dedicated and personalised support for individuals and families throughout the difficult winter months and beyond.

Are you a business or individual wanting to take on a challenge to raise money to help people break the cycle of homelessness in Leicester? There’s lots of ways that you can challenge yourself and your team to raise money for a good cause, from walking and fitness challenges to office ‘bake off’ and creative ‘marathon’ events.

We’d love to hear about your plans for fundraising challenges. You can email us at info@actionhomeless.org.uk to tell us about your success stories or ask us any questions you might have.

You can also visit our online fundraising platform to donate, or set up your own individual fundraising page.
