Another day, another event… and another trip to London 🇬🇧 This time, it’s something a bit special—and a moment that’s really made me stop and reflect on how far this journey has taken me. Today, I’ve been invited by Julia Herdman of the Gordon Moody charity to attend an event at the House of Commons, where I’ll be joining MPs in a conversation around gambling addiction. Now you might be thinking: “What’s that got to do with homelessness?” Well… maybe not a direct link. But addiction can affect anyone. It can spiral, take control, and before you know it—life looks completely different. It’s that same vulnerability, that same loss of stability, that so many of the families we help at SureStay Group have experienced in one way or another. I don’t take invitations like this lightly. Someone saw something in me—enough to believe I should be in that room. That means a lot. And tomorrow evening, I’ll be attending the Philanthropy Impact monthly gathering on Fleet Street—something I’m proud to be a part of as a member. If you’d told me five years ago I’d be in these circles, I wouldn’t have believed you. Feeling incredibly grateful🙏
