‘Giving the Vulnerable a Chance' Campaign

'Giving the Vulnerable a Chance' is a series of challenges with the vision to educate, inspire and mobilise individuals to reach out to the vulnerable in their communities.

Gordon Cruden is embarking on a series of challenges that will place him at the heart of community crises situations to find out what the real issues are that have led vulnerable people to crisis situations that some find themselves in.

In May 2025, Gordon went homeless across Europe, and this September, Gordon will be travelling across South, Central and North America to reach out to vulnerable people across these countries to find out what their real needs are and to find how people and organisations are supporting them. Follow his journey . . . .
