On the night of Saturday February 18th 2023, I will be taking part in Friends Round London (FRL). This is an annual charity midnight drive around the M25, raising funds for UK HOMES 4 HEROES.
There is one rule: no matter the weather, you have to be topless – or at least your car does!
We would appreciate any support you may be able to give. We have a sponsorship form, or you can click here to give via our Just Giving webpage.
If you have a convertible car and would like to take part in FRL, here are the details:
The FRL Charity was founded in response to the plight of homeless ex-service personnel. It is estimated that over 4,500 previously serving members of the British Armed Forces are sleeping rough in the UK today. With the MOD due to make cuts, this figure is going to rise. UK Homes 4 Heroes objectives are:
- To dedicate hostel-style accommodation to our ex-service personnel, and only them, providing a safe, clean living environment where they can feel secure and at home.
- To help them gain a permanent home through social housing, assisting with the application and bidding phases.
- To provide counselling services for people with psychological disorders, i.e. depression and post traumatic stress disorder.
Since the charity was set up in 2010, the response we have had from the British public has been overwhelming, but we still need more help, more donations, more awareness and, above all, more support. We have a 16-strong team of dedicated professionals heading this operation and we will not give up until we succeed. We also have the backing of the London Pearly Kings & Queens, one of the oldest charitable institutes in Britain today.
Charity Registration No. 1138073
You will probably have seen my little yellow MG convertible in the village.
