Thank you for helping us raise £800 for Social Bite!
We did it!
On Friday 12th January, the whole Rosslyn Associates team took part in a charity treadmill marathon. We brought a treadmill into the office and took it in turns to run (or walk) until we reached 26.2 miles! It may have taken us the best part of the day, and despite error messages from the treadmill, we managed to complete it! So far, we have managed to raise £800 (that’s £100 above our target!) for Social Bite, a wonderful charity which aims to alleviate homelessness in Scotland.
What Social Bite do:
- Distribute 100,000 items of food and hot drinks to homeless people every year
- Run a high end restaurant, HOME, which serves food homeless people.
- Run employment programme – one in four Social Bite employees have struggled with homelessness.
- Currently building villages to help homeless people get back on their feet.
- Feed and give gifts to homeless people at Christmas
- Fund “Housing First” programme which aims to get homeless people into their own homes
As you can see, all your donations are going to a great cause. If you would like to help Social Bite out more, they also run a pay it forward system. You can pop into one of the Social Bite cafes and pay for an item of food or drink which a homeless person can then claim.
Thank you!
