Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my
JustGiving page.
On
the 12th of November 2009 I
will be joining 450 people at Old Spitalfields Market to sleep out for the
night! This event is to kick starts Centrepoint's Countdown to Christmas
appeal; raising both awareness and money for LONDON'S HOMELESS YOUNG PEOPLE. The event is
not trying to re-create homelessness but to raise awareness for the issue and
for the services that Centrepoint provide.
Centrepoint houses and supports 830 homeless young people between the ages of 16
and 25 every night and addresses the cause as well as the
problem of homelessness.
- £15 helps provide a bed in an emergency hostel for a night.
- £25 can buy hot meals for a homeless young person for one week.
- £100 could buy pots and pans for a self-catering Centrepoint flat, preparing a young person for independent living.
Donating through JustGiving is simple,
fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never
sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money
directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible
donation by a UK
taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst
saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
I'd
love it if you'd join me in giving to Centrepoint and helping some of the most
vulnerable in our society.
