On 13th October I slept out overnight at Wembley Stadium with 90 people from the business community and leaders in the charity world. 

I was taking part to help raise vitally needed funds for the Cardinal Hume Centre’s work tackling poverty and homelessness. Last year over 1,700 people came to the Centre looking for help, advice and support as times became tougher for them and their families.  

I have known the great work of the Centre for many years, and it was one of the reasons I founded Million Minutes, of which I am CEO, to help raise more support for its work.

While sleeping out for this one night does not compare to the reality for those people who face it day in and day out, the act of solidarity will help highlight the issue of poverty and raise funds for the Centre’s work.

Please sponsor me and help send the message that homelessness and poverty should simply not exist in the modern world.

Thank you very much
