‘As a result of Covid-19 the amount of homeless people has increased dramatically and this is going up at an alarming rate as redundancies hit. Domestic violence has also seen a spike as a result of lock down and we are also donating to Refuge, a charity which helps women and children who suffer violence and abuse.

‘We are donating 100 per cent of the net profits raised this year to charity up to £100,000. I am proud to be representing the Portsmouth community in this mission.’
