Inspired by a friend and his wife who committed to 52wks of music during 2014 (@52wksofmusic), Owen and I have embarked on our own 52wk challenge; to explore a new place in London each week.

We pondered several options: nature, culture, soul food but felt that our best way forward was to combine them whilst getting more out of the city we’ve lived in for decades.

To add an extra dimension we’ve decided to donate money to Centrepoint, a charity which helps vulnerable young people feel safe, find shelter and gain life skills to help keep them off the streets.

Our premise is simple: we spend 52wks enriching our experience of London whilst giving back to those who are struggling with the basics.

To add a donation to ours, visit our JustGiving page or via JustTextGiving by texting “LDNX52” to 70070, quoting the amount you want to give: £1, £2, £5, £10. Thanks so much.
