#StepUp200
Steve - ex serviceman - Client
Why take part?
"It can happen to anybody. There's a saying that goes around, "You're only ever two paychecks away from homelessness if you think about it." So these services are important, and it's not just the needy that needs them. It can be anybody. Do you know what I mean?
It can be from bereavement, it can be from marital breakup, and you could still be working. That's the other thing here, even if you're working, they will still look after you for short period of time, but then they've got move-on places where they can put you and again help you get back on your feet."
"This ( the hostel) is where it starts. It's just the foundation of it. You can get rooms in shared houses. If you need rehab, it can be organised. And these guys go and find the funding for that..
"Just think if you donate you can change a life"

"If I hadn’t have come to O'Hanlon House, I wouldn't have ended up in the house that I'm in now, I'd still been on the street. Having a bed to lay in, that's a start, and a hot shower, amazing. Yeah, it was good to get a room. Have a room, roof over your head. Got meals every day; hot meals." Matt, client
Your £200 (that's £1 per mile) could help someone like Matt thrive and have access to a healthy diet of 3 hot nutritious meals a day; to have a safe, clean and warm place to sleep every night, access to toilets, regular showers, clean clothes and underwear
