Tonight will be the fourth time I've slept rough in central Ealing to raise awareness of the plight of homeless people as part of the annual YMCA West London Sleepeasy. The temperature is forecast to hit minus two degrees.  I've also got a cold at present just to make it even more fun!

But I only do this one night a year. YMCA West London provide outreach services to help young homeless people off the streets all year round. Your donation can make a real difference to young lives.

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. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
