Story

<p>Many thanks to all who supported me for the sleep out. It was dry until 5.00 am - but then we got a bit damp! There were 35 or so of us - and the "on the night" take was around &pound;5,000 - with more to come.</p> <p>The pics are the view on the night and the classic "after" shot!</p> <p>I had a further &pound;35 in cash and cheques so that takes the total very close to &pound;400 - (Now nearer to &pound;500 ! - (7/12/11))You are all very generous!</p> <p>There is still an option to donate for those who have not yet got round to it. Many thanks and best wishes. David&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The Booth Centre at the Cathedral in Manchester do a fantastic job providing food, support and help in getting homeless folks into jobs and accomodation. These folk are not feckless or "paying the price" for foolishness - they are each fascinating and decent human beings for whom fortune has not recently smiled. Please support my small contribution to help them find a new way forward with their lives.</p> <p>I shall be sleeping out with them and other fundraising friends on Friday November 25th near to the Cathedral. If it is cold and wet - it will be some consolation to know you have sponsored me to do it !
