Dear friends

Firstly a huge thank you for sponsoring my Big Sleepout at Exchange Square near Liverpool street last night, and helping me raise much needed funds for Centrepoint.  There was so much support from everyone involved it was brilliant. Despite it being one of the coldest nights so far this year, I managed to get into my sleeping bag at 1am this morning and did sleep for a good 4.5 hours.

 

 Although I slept “rough” for one night, I am in a privileged position to be able to leave the cold, go home, shower and eat, which so many homeless young people cannot do. Your support has gone some way to helping our homeless youth back to being visible in society, regaining their self-esteem and being able to help themselves.

 

As a team we have managed to raise almost £9,000 and the donations are still coming in. if you haven’t been able to donate as yet, it’s not too late to donate whatever you can – either online at https://www.justgiving.com/teams/MediacomSleepout or offline, via sending a cheque payable to Centrepoint which I can pass on.

 

 Thank you so much for your support and donations, I really do appreciate it.
