For the last few years I have been taking part in "Framework's Big Sleep Out" along with a group of colleagues from my workplace, to help raise money to prevent homelessness and rough sleeping in the East Midlands.

This year, on Thursday 28th November we will be taking to the streets again, sleeping rough at Sneinton market in Nottingham at what is set to be Framework's biggest sleep out yet!

Framework work with more than 9,000 people each year from all over the East Midlands and parts of South Yorkshire, including rough sleepers, drug and alcohol misusers, people with mental health difficulties, vulnerable young people, offenders, people at risk of losing their home, ex-service personnel and vulnerable women & families.

If you are able and willing it would be amazing if you could join me in supporting this great charity by giving just a few pounds.

If you would like to find out more about Framework and the work that they do, go to http://www.frameworkha.org/

Thank you for your support - it looks like it's going to be a cold one this year!
