“As an organization which has social responsibility at the heart of its work, we want to exploit the 40th anniversary to raise as much money as possible for our two nominated charities. In addition to the trek, we have raised funds through a sponsored 40 mile bike ride, as well as generous donations from our corporate partners and various resident parties and events.”
Larry English, Chief Executive for Homeless International said,
“Linda’s enthusiasm in taking part in the trek should be an example to us all that retirement living can still mean a full and active life.
We are delighted that “Johnnie” Johnson Housing is supporting Homeless International through the trek and will also be helping to raise much needed funds for a women’s sanitation project in Tamil Nadu.
It’s great to know that the social housing sector in this country is so willing to not only to help address housing needs within this country, but also to work alongside us on a global scale”.
