This man is looking for food, somewhere to charge his phone and a Doncaster garden to sleep in

Peter Henshaw, aged 38, is planning to walk nearly 900 miles from his home in Edinburgh to London and back again in August this year – when he will have turned 39.

He is doing this to raise awareness of homelessness and raise funds for Shelter and Shelter Scotland.

Peter said: “During my walk I will be sleeping out, however if anyone can offer me their back garden then this would be hugely appreciated.

“Futhermore, I will be relying on the public to provide food and somewhere to charge my mobile phone.”
