Homelessness is something that i've always tried to help with where possible, and although this will be nothing in comparison to what it's like on a daily basis; I hope it will raise awareness a little, and help those who need it most.

I have been inspired by a social media movement called #dosomethingfornothing and I've decided to support a local charity and help individuals who are suffering from homelessness.

On Friday 19 August, I will be sleeping rough for a night in order to help raise awareness of what life on the streets can be like. The annual Big Sleep Out aims to raise money and awareness of the realities of sleeping rough in the town.

It's easy to turn our nose up at homeless people, and assume that they must be to blame in some way, shape or form, but whatever the reason for them being on the street, its still not a nice thing to have to do day after day, night after night, and we need to appreciate just how fortunate we are.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thanks for taking the time to read my page, and please donate if you can!
