Story

On Thursday 14th of April 2016, we will be giving up our warm beds in our comfortable homes to sleep rough on the street. Why? We would like to do what we can by raising funds for a very worthwhile local charity, St George's Crypt who help the homeless, everyday. We are also raising funds for The Leeds United Foundation to help steer young people and children away from the dangers of the streets.

We can't pretend it will be as frightening for us to sleep rough, in company, at Trinity Leeds with toilets and security as it must be for people who are truly homeless, alone and with no other option but life on the street. It probably won't be too cold and it's only for one night. Then we'll be back in our own homes and beds. People who use the likes of St George’s Crypt in Leeds and emergency winter night shelters have no such comfortable expectation, and nowhere else to turn.Your support will give them every chance.

We'd love you to join us.
