Charity Link's Sue and Rachel and wonderful supporters will be sleeping out in the Charity Link office courtyard in Leicester city centre from 8pm on Friday 24th January, with the aim of lasting until 8am the following morning.

It's going to be tough - but by going without the usual comforts of a warm bed for a night, we will be raising funds to help support those who are without the basic essentials every night.

Due to Charity Link's unique way of working, just £5 will help to heat a home for  week, £10 would feed a family for a week, £25 would buy a bed for a child in need, £40 would buy a cooker so a family can enjoy a hot meal, and £100 would buy essential items for a family to set up a new home after becoming homeless....your support really will make a difference.

Whatever you can give in support of the Sleepover, we would be so appreciative - it will really help to keep us going during those long hours in the middle of the night (and early morning!).

Wish us all luck and keep a look out for photos on Charity Link's social media pages on the night.
