Home competition website set up by Portsmouth man pledges to raise £100,000 for charity

The website homecompetitions.co.uk was set up by Krishan Singh Swali. It gathers together property competitions and raffles from across the country.

Krishan, who is originally from Portsmouth, said: ‘I am aiming to raise a massive £100,000 for charities that help the homeless.

‘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.’
