Future Faces members hike for homelessness charity

Two Future Faces members, Ben Caseley and Hannah Ellis, spent a day of their weekend hiking in Wales to raise money for Birmingham-based charity St Basils.

Hannah and Ben hiked up Skirrid and Twyn yr Allt, which have a combined height of 809 metres.

St Basils supports young people in Birmingham struggling with homelessness, offering support to 5,000 people a year (in person and virtually) through advice, housing, education and much more.

Hannah and Ben said: “Supporting the charity is important to us as young professionals in the West Midlands. We hope to support others who might not be in as fortunate of a position and ensure that every young person in the region is presented with equal opportunities and affordable living.”

The walk covered 17 miles (it should have been 15, but there were some unintentional detours). Hannah and Ben, along with two other colleagues from Lloyds Bank, have raised £5k for the charity.

If anyone is interested in supporting the charity, please reach out to Hannah or Ben, who are also taking part in the St Basils sleepout at the end of the year.
