Dermot's Sleepout for the Homeless Fundraising
Fundraising for The London and Slough Run
Story
Homelessness is a scourge in our society.
On the 25th November some of us will spend a night sleeping-out in cardboard boxes to raise awareness and money to provide a winter shelter to take rough sleepers off the streets in the coldest winter months.
Over the last few years the London and Slough Run has provided a winter shelter in Slough from early January through to the end of March, with the help of many volunteers and local amenities.
The shelter gives rough sleepers in Slough a warm dinner and breakfast together with providing a safe, warm, dry place to spend the night during the coldest of months.
It would be fantastic if you can spare a few of your hard earned cash to help out. I know how many requests you receive and the many worthy causes that exist. However the London Slough Run is extremely efficiently run, staffed entirely by volunteers and a little goes a really long way.
"We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give" (Winston Churchill)
