Havas Media Group is partnering with homelessness charity Under One Sky to support hundreds of homeless people during a night walk.
Havas Media Group employees will take to the streets of London on Thursday 27th February and Manchester on Thursday 19th March, to distribute support packages to homeless people. The packs will contain food, clothing, toiletries, sleeping bags and books, as well as gift cards which can be used to buy tents, winter clothing and other necessities.
As part of the initiative, people are invited to contribute to this GoFundMe page. All money raised will go directly to Under One Sky to support the work they do in the UK and abroad, and will not support or fund the night walks.
Ewen MacPherson, people director, Havas Media Group, said: “In the UK, homelessness has risen by 165% since 2010, and this figure doesn’t include the 'hidden homeless' who spend their time between temporary housing and the streets. We can’t end homelessness overnight, but we wanted do something to help make a meaningful difference.”
