Reading Single Homeless Project - Big Sleep Out 2010 · 23 April 2010 ·

Launchpad is Reading’s leading homelessness prevention charity, providing vital information and support for individuals, couples and families who are homeless or are at risk of losing their home. With your support and generosity, we helped over 1,800 people get back on their feet last year.

Story

Reading Single Homeless Project’s Big Sleep Out 2010            

On Friday, April 23, our intrepid team of five hardy Ascot-based souls will be snuggling down in their cardboard boxes for the night in aid of the Reading Single Homeless Project. 

 

Our MD Phil Green is a lifelong “Loyal Royal” so he needed no persuading to bed down at that temple of football, The Madjeski Stadium.   The rest of us are tapping into our inner girl guide/boy scout to enter into the spirit of sleeping under the stars, (as long as we don’t freeze our ging gang gooleys!).

 

Although we aim to have fun in our thermals that night, there is a serious reason why we’re doing this.  By sponsoring our Sleep Out and donating to our page you will be directly helping homeless people in Reading to turn their lives around. 

Your donations will help RSHP provide counselling, housing related support, employment education and training, alcohol education and support and good quality accommodation for some our local area's most vulnerable people.

 

So please give a little (or a lot!) to help make a difference.  Many thanks for your support.
