I'm sleeping rough, so children don't have to...COULD YOU?

On Friday 23 October, I will be spending a night sleeping rough in the car park of Parkgate Shopping in Rotherham.  I know this is going to be an extremely difficult challenge - come rain, wind or snow, I'm going to experience what its like for vulnernable young runways who have little option but to sleep rough many nights of the year, in all weathers.

More than 4000 children under 16 years old are forced to flee an abusive home, incidents of bullying, broken family relationships etc in OUR area.  I want to make sure these children have somewhere to turn for advice, support and practical help...I'm sleeping rough to raise money so that SAFE@LAST can continue to run its vital services and to keep more children safe.

It is said we are in a 'credit crunch', a time when it is even more challenging to raise funds for such a worthly cause and ironically, a time in which children need SAFE@LAST even more, as more pressures are placed on families that heighten some of the reasons why a child would run away. 

Please give what you can to support the cause.
