Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am giving up my warm bed for one night and throwing down my sleeping bag at Framework’s Big Sleep Out on Thursday 25th November 2010 – spending the night sleeping outside to raise money for local homeless and vulnerable people in Nottinghamshire.

Anyone who knows me will realise how much I hate being cold and how much I like my sleep so this will be a real challenge!

Homelessness and the threat of homelessness affect thousands of local people every year for a wide variety of reasons, including domestic violence, family breakdown, mental health problems and unemployment. All too quickly, vulnerable people can become invisible; homeless or stranded in unsafe and insecure housing.

Big funding cuts on the way mean that Framework’s vital services are under threat – with less accommodation for homeless people available and budgets to help prevent people from becoming homeless being slashed, we expect to see a return to high levels of rough sleeping. We need your support now more than ever.

So please dig deep and donate now.
