What an incredible experience! Help4Homeless was featured on ITV News Anglia, sharing our story with viewers across the East of England. The feature highlighted how our founder Tom Chalmers was inspired to help the city's homeless after seeing rough sleepers on his walk to school.

The Peterborough Telegraph has published a feature article about Help4Homeless, highlighting how our 17-year-old founder Tom Chalmers created a charitable project that hand-delivers wellbeing packs to homeless people in Peterborough after repeatedly seeing a man sleeping rough under a bridge on his walk to work.

Today marked a massive milestone for Help4Homeless. Our founder attended the Food & Drink Festival at Peterborough United football club - our very first event. After the event, we distributed 6 essential wellbeing packs and had meaningful conversations with people experiencing homelessness.

"I'm 17 years old. And this is what my week looks like." From customer service to fundraising manager to charity founder, Tom opens up about burnout, mental health, and why he keeps showing up for his community.

Help4Homeless founder Tom Chalmers appeared on BBC Cambridgeshire's breakfast show this morning, sharing the story behind the youth-led charity and its mission to support homeless people in Peterborough. Listen to the full interview inside.

As Help4Homeless continues to grow and expand our impact in Peterborough, we are excited to introduce our new Management Committee. This dedicated team will help guide our charity's strategic direction and ensure we can reach even more people experiencing homelessness in our community.

When Help4Homeless launched just months ago, it began with a single observation — a man sleeping under a bridge in our city — and a question from a 17-year-old who refused to look away: what can I actually do?
