Boring English Post today. Tugaposting will resume shortly.
This post is going live on Saturday when I’ll be in Inverness. That’s further north in Britain than I’ve ever been before so I am very excited. I’m doing the Loch Ness Marathon and I am getting sponsored for a homeless charity called Cyrenians. We’ve probably all noticed there’s been a rise of homelessness as a result of a few different social trends coming together in the last few years. It takes me back to the early nineties when I used to work in a night shelter in King’s Cross. We had a few good years in between, when things seemed to be getting better, but it’s all gone sour again and it’s disappointing too see.
Anyway, as you probably know, giving money direct to homeless people can sometimes be a bit problematic, but giving to an organisation that provides services is a good way of really helping in sustainable, observable ways, and that’s why I chose this charity.
So, if you’d like to help out and help me meet the (ahem) slightly ambitious target I have pledged to meet, here is the page! Contributors get access to the selfies I am planning to take with the monster if I am lucky enough to meet him. Thanks in advance!
