Charity
Safe and Sound Homes supports young people in North Yorkshire who are homeless, or potentially homeless, by providing a safe place to live. We do this by offering accommodation and support for one night up to 18 months. All accommodation is in the home of fully trained and vetted volunteers, our ‘hosts’. Short term accommodation is arranged for a young person if a personal or family crisis results in them having no home to go to. This enables all parties to explore more sustainable options, which might be a return home once mediation work with the family or carer has been undertaken. Where returning home is not an option and if the young person meets the required criteria, Supported Lodgings accommodation may be offered. The young person is placed with a host who works with us and other agencies, such as colleges and local authorities, to act as a positive role model and provide a level of support determined by individual needs. Safe and Sound Homes aims to enable the young person to develop aspirations, responsibility, a sense of self-worth and the practical skills necessary to move on and live independently.

24 Gigs In 24 Hours
Hi, we're Peter Marshall and The Lomos. Thanks for visiting our fundraising page. Through Virgin Money Giving, you can sponsor us for our crazy challenge of attempting 24 gigs in a 24 hour period! Donations will be quickly processed and passed to SASH - our nominated charity. Also, this event is sponsored by Aviva so they will match every donation pound for pound!
Alternatively you can download CheatBeat (A World Cup Song) on Amazon here and we'll donate all proceeds from June and July downloads to SASH. The song is also available on iTunes, Napster, and eMusic if you prefer and we'll donate those proceeds from June and July too.
Virgin Money Giving is a not for profit organisation and will claim gift aid on a charity's behalf where the donor is eligible for this. We really appreciate all your support and thank you for any donations.
You can check out the schedule of gigs here:

Anonymous £10.00 (+ £2.82 giftaid) 17.07.10 Good luck, chaps. I have a cunning ruse: bridge the gap between the two days by sleeping rough on the streets instead of going home - that way you'd be able to legitimately take a cut. Always thinking, I am. |
