My story

 

Thank you for visiting the fundraising page in memory of Bob Lawrence.

Bob dedicated so much of his time to helping homeless people through his work in Montserrat, at the Empty Homes Agency, CLG and with Crisis each Christmas.  He has been a great support to many local authorities, and his passion and enthusiasm is well-known.

This page has been created in recognition of Bob's work, our thanks to him, and to provide an opportunity to donate to Crisis in his memory.  You are also very welcome to leave a personal message that others can share and read too. 

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to donate: Crisis gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Thank you for your support.
