Hundred for the Homeless

Crawley Open House needs your help

The Covid-19 pandemic has had a catastrophic effect with the cancellation of thousands of events and the huge loss of income through fundraising events.

​

The Virgin Money London Marathon alone, which should have taken place on Sunday 26 April, is the world’s biggest one-day fundraising event.

​

Many charities have had to reduce or stop services at a time when vulnerable members of society need them most; thousands of staff have been placed on furlough and many charities will not survive the next few months.

​
