Completing the Sleep Out for Turning Tides, gave me the understanding of how things can change so quickly that your life is turned upside down. Listening to the experiences of those of have had no other option but to sleep rough was insightful and inspiring. I felt safe in the environment managed by Charlie and there was a brilliant atmosphere as everyone got ready for the night ahead. However the night was dark, the weather was cold and the ground was hard, so I had little sleep and plenty of time to think about how this way of living can impact people. I would urge everyone to get involved and gain more awareness about not everyones choices are the same but we are all just trying to do our best. - Layla Rae Training and Development lead
