Claire puts her best foot forward

The curate from Glossop Parish Church of All Saints will be striding out to raise money for the homeless.

Rev Claire Mitchell (pictured) is fundraising for Shelter’s Big Walk in December. 

Thousands of people across the UK are set to join Claire in their own sponsored event, walking either 3k, 5k or 10k to fight homelessness.

The money raised aims to end rough sleeping and build more social homes.

Claire said: “It’s been a difficult year and things have really hit home. 

“But your sponsorship will do incredible things from supporting people whose jobs and homes are under threat, to campaigning for a stronger safety net for everyone. 

“The money raised will help Shelter campaign to end rough sleeping, build more social homes and protect renters who face discrimination and eviction.

“Around £10 could pay for two webchats of online support and advice; £20 could pay for two calls through the emergency helpline; £80 could pay for two face-to-face advice sessions; £120 could pay for a legal advice session for someone facing housing problems; £150 could help someone keep their home resolving a complex housing issue for them. 

“Thank you for making a big difference!”
