I am taking the challenge of sleeping out in Manchester City Centre to highlight some of the hardships that homeless people face every single night.

The Booth Centre has no political or religious affiliations and works in partnership with Manchester City Council, Shelter and other organisations.

As a Manchester lad, born and bred, I have seen homelessness grow in the city over the years and hope I can do a little bit to help by taking part in this event.
