Hi there, welcome to our fundraising page. We are Parker Communications, a local, family run business. A small but strong team.
A little information as to why we have created a fundraiser....
Did you know that nearly 600 people died on British streets in 2017 whilst being homeless and the average life expectancy of a homeless adult is just 44 years old. This is nearly a 30 year difference compared to someone who is not homeless.
Homelessness can be the results of many things but the leading causes of homelessness is financial difficulties, poverty and drug and alcohol dependencies. Sadly, children can be the most affected by this and every 8 minutes, a child in Britain becomes homeless. This is the equivalent of 183 children per day, enough to fill 2.5 double decker buses.
To rise awareness for child homelessness, the whole team at Parker Comms has decided to raise money by spending a night on the street of Leeds in the last week of December. This in inconjunction with Viking FM Cash For Kids.
100% of the money we raise, will be given to Cash For Kids. This is a grant-giving charity helping the children that need it most across East Yorkshire and Northern Lincolnshire.
Please donate all that you can, we would love to exceed our target!
Thank you so much!
Will, Ryan, Luke, Gareth, Craig, Callum, Gareth, John and Simon.
