On September 24th 2012, we began the first day of our pilot programme after eight months of researching and three months of planning. I woke up extremely nervous with so many questions rushing through my mind, much like before a race or a very important pitch – have we done enough, are we prepared, did we forget anything? I remember it as if it was yesterday. The emotions swung from one end of the spectrum to the other. There was no more time for preparation and no turning back.
At The Running Charity (TRC) we like to take every opportunity we can to put homelessness on the agenda. All too often the young people working with us feel excluded from society, prevented from expressing themselves and struggle to get their opinions heard.
Following the election of Jeremy Corbyn as Labour leader, the weekly Prime Minister’s Questions (PMQ’s) were opened up to public questions for the first time in their history- and we knew TRC needed to be a part of it, so we asked the young people the simple question “What do you want to ask David Cameron?”.
