<p>I will be taking part in a sponsored 'sleepout' event on the night of 2nd December 2011, outside Southwark Cathedral, as part of a team from St. John the Divine, Kennington.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The aim is to raise funds for the Robes Project (<a href="http://www.robes.org.uk">www.robes.org.uk</a>), a charity that helps homeless people in Southwark and Lambeth. &nbsp;Over 300 volunteers and 19 churches provide food, shelter, and funding for a professional advice worker and project coordinator.&nbsp;&nbsp;The project supports&nbsp;over 70 homeless people each winter, and has a great record of helping them to find more stable accommodation and jobs.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Robes costs &pound;85,000 per year.&nbsp; We receive no public funding and rely solely on donations from individuals, businesses and churches.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><span style="color: #800080;">what your money will buy<br></span></strong><span style="color: #000000;">&pound;120: An evening meal, overnight stay and breakfast for 15 guests<br></span><span style="color: #000000;">&pound;30:&nbsp; A new camp bed for one of our guests<br></span><span style="color: #000000;">&pound;15: A new sleeping bag<br></span><span style="color: #000000;">&pound;5: An evening meal for one guest</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><strong><span style="color: #800080;">about JustGiving<br></span></strong>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
