Weʼve raised £70 to help raise funds for a night shelter for the homeless
- Funded on Monday, 27th February 2017

Story
On 31st of January I will be sleeping out on the streets to raise awareness of homelessness and to raise money to go towards funding a night shelter that accommodates anyone that needs a nights sleep in safe supportive surroundings.
Homelessness has always had a special place in my heart since working at The Passage Daycentre in London. It was here that I saw some of the most beautiful moments as the service users would care, love and support each other;. The users came from various backgrounds (fleeing abuse, relationship breakdowns, mental health issues etc), they are often broken people who are prone to alcohol/ substance misuse to escape the haunting memories of their past.
Night shelter spaces are very limited (because of a lack of resources) and users have to fit a certain criteria to obtain a place.
i hope that you will donate to this cause as homelessness is not a choice or a lifestyle it is often the final piece of a life, littered with rejection, neglect, trauma and hopelessness.
As you snuggle down tonight please give a thought for those that are vulnerable, freezing on the streets......
Thanks
Debs

7 years agoI'm looking forward to the sleepout and hope to make a difference to the street homeless who are marginalised by society. Thank you so much for your donations, I think that to show you care is probably the greatest gift we can give to those who are routinely ignored. Thank you Debs xx
