This week, Claire Grain, Secretary of The Fine & Country Foundation, was delighted to visit Wintercomfort in Cambridge, the city’s only year-round support centre for people who are sleeping rough, vulnerably housed, sofa surfing, or staying in temporary accommodation.

Since 1991, Wintercomfort has provided vital support to people experiencing homelessness, offering essential services including hot meals, showers, laundry facilities and clothing, alongside housing advice, counselling, addiction support, employment and training opportunities, money and debt advice, and dedicated services for women facing homelessness.

The charity also continues to expand its outreach work across the city, helping more people access the support they need in a safe and welcoming environment.

Claire says: "It was clear to see the passion and dedication of the incredible team behind the scenes, all working tirelessly to help individuals address immediate needs, secure accommodation, and work towards long-term stability and wellbeing."

She continues: "The Fine & Country Foundation has proudly supported Wintercomfort for over 15 years through donations raised from our annual Carol Concert each December. With the charity needing to raise an incredible £1 million each year to continue delivering these essential services, ongoing support has never been more important."

Over the last 12 months alone, Wintercomfort has supported more than 800 people in crisis ❤️

Tom Carter, Director of Fine & Country North Wales, is set to embark on an ambitious endurance challenge this weekend as he joins six fellow participants in a ‘Cross Wales Walk’ to raise funds for The Fine & Country Foundation.

The group will take on a demanding 47-mile route, beginning at the Shropshire/Powys border and finishing in Aberystwyth. Setting off at 4:30am on Saturday, 9 May, the team aims to complete the entire distance by nightfall, pushing their physical limits in support of a worthy cause.

The walk follows closely on the heels of the recent Fine & Country Dragon Relay, which saw Tom and other Welsh licensees transport ‘Franco the Dragon’ across Wales in a creative and collaborative fundraising effort. Undeterred by that challenge, and motivated to maintain momentum, Tom is once again lacing up his hiking boots to make a difference. Find out more in our latest blog.

Just £300 to go until we hit our target!

As Franco nears his final destination in Tenby, who’s going to help us reach that magic number tonight? 🐉

Today, Franco has been enjoying his time with the Fine & Country Swansea team on the final leg of his journey… although it looks like those little dragon legs are feeling it now – he’s hitched a ride in a backpack to the finish line! 🎒

Let’s get him there in style...

We are so close to our target! Please keep donating: https://www.justgiving.com/team/dragonrelay?utm_medium=TE&utm_source=CL

Franco stayed behind in the Chepstow office earlier this week, while his green cousin went out for the day with the team!

Abbie Young told us; "When we got to Chepstow the jetty was locked and the water had dropped so we couldn’t get off. We had to clamber up mud, rocks and landed in Travis Perkins builders merchants. They rescued us and helped pull the boats up afterwards. We were literally caked in mud and caused quite a commotion rocking up to the local pub caked in mud afterwards. All good fun!"

That has got to be worth an extra donation! Keep supporting our Welsh team here: https://www.justgiving.com/team/dragonrelay?utm_medium=TE&utm_source=CL
