Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Where do I start..... 

I was touched last week reading the evening times online, an article of a homeless man in Glasgow 41 year old  died in the street sleeping rough. 

I have since contacted countless number of charities and orginisations trying to help over the Christmas period as I find myself in the very fortunate position of being off work and getting paid for it (holiday). Everywhere I contacted needed to do a disclosure, not only would this have taken three weeks minimum to organise, there was no guarantees I would have been deemed fit to work with vulnerable adults

So I have decided to so my own thing. Sleep rough in Glasgow on Xmas Eve and wake up on Christmas Day homeless temporarily, some people out there don't have the choice to go "HOME" and it's for these people I want to raise awareness and money.

I understand Christmas is financially a tough time for some families, but please spare whatever you can to help towards these helpless people. Every little helps. 


I picked this charity carefully as it helps local homeless people in need of shelter, accommodation food and water. They do such a marvellous job.
