Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On 12th October I will be sleeping out overnight at the Kia Oval with more than 100 people from the business community. 


I am taking part to help raise vitally needed funds to support people who are homeless and living in poverty. 

While sleeping out for this one night does not compare to the reality for those people who face it day in and day out, the act of solidarity will help highlight the issue of poverty and raise funds for those who need it.

I truly believe we are all, or have been at some point, a short story away from being homeless ourselves. If it hadn't been for my own great friends and family at the time, I would have been suddenly homeless myself in my 20s due to a dodgy landlord and his sudden flat repossession. Luckily for me friends offered somewhere to stay temporarily, I had a job, and had family as a backup plan and to store my belongings - not everyone is that lucky. Homelessness in London is a big issue for all age groups.

Depaul are doing a fantastic job of providing accommodation where it wouldn't otherwise be provided and taking care of our young people via their NightStop service especially. Please support this fantastic cause  - and me in braving the cold for only one night - there are many people just like you and me living on the streets through no fault of their own.

Help send the message that homelessness and poverty should simply not exist in the modern world.
