The main reason for organising this Appeal is to
provide some support for local homeless people.
The Appeal will also give us an opportunity to raise
awareness of the causes of homelessness and
what it means to be homeless. This we hope will
result in our students being better informed about
homelessness and therefore in a better position to
help address this problem in the future as adult
citizens.
