We may be enjoying mild weather right now, but as a homeless charity we are always thinking about anyone who is on the streets when the temperature drops. Thanks to @Oracle for donating items for SWEP (severe weather emergency protocol) so we are prepared this winter.

Walkies! ends today - it has been fabulous!
It's the penultimate day of Walkies, and Imogen has been taking part with her dog Wilbur. She said: "Every time we go into Reading I notice people sitting in the street and it makes me sad that they have no home ... we take what we have for granted, I just want to help them." ❤️

After a week of Walkies! we are over a third of a way towards our fundraising target - so a huge friendly woof woof and slobbery kiss to everyone taking part or who has donated. 🐶
Dogs like Marie are taking part and walking 1.8km a day as last year we supported 1,800 people.
