I have recently been talking to a homeless man in Liverpool City Centre who has really opened my eyes up to the plight of people with nowhere to go as the temperature drops.

He told me about his recent hospital visit and the fact he spent last night sleeping on the streets with only his friend for warmth. I buy him a warm drink every morning but I know its not enough to help him or others who are homeless in the city. I want to do more.

Those that know me are aware i have spent my last 14 Christmas days cooking dinner for people who are on their own and that I am not one to be satisfied sitting on the sidelines.

Whatever I manage to raise from this will go towards buying blankets, scarves, hats and flasks. Myself and ray intend to go around Liverpool giving the items out and providing people with warm drinks.

Even just one pound would make an incredible difference so please help if you can.
