Kimberley Coke

Founded in 1998, StreetSmart is a charity that raises money for people experiencing homelessness and the vulnerable by adding a voluntary £1 to diners’ bills at participatory restaurants each November and December. In the 25 years they’ve been functioning, they’ve been able to raise a huge £12 million and as the head of the organisation’s communications, Kimberley Coke has helped raise £1.5 million in one year alone. The funds then go towards investing in projects that tackle homelessness at its root causes, aiding with issues surrounding family breakdown, drug and alcohol abuse, poor mental health and the need for greater education and training.
