Story

The Brick are running a Big Back Garden Sleep*... so I've decided to try and take it up a notch... I'm going to spend a night in a shop doorway... it'll be me... a sleeping bag... a radio... and my phone to keep you updated...

Because of the brilliant work this charity does in my local area... I am going to try and raise £200 for an amazing cause... but more importantly... raise awareness of what a single night on the streets looks like... I'll update you with videos of how I am getting on throughout the night on Twitter... so please give a pound or two if you can... but if not... simply sharing the message can do so much to help the people who have to do this for real... and for a lot longer than one night in many cases...x

*The Brick is inviting the community to come together once again for the Big Back Garden Sleep, on Saturday 27 March, to raise much-needed funds for those facing poverty due to the pandemic. Over the last 12 months, there has been an unprecedented need for the charities services, due to the increase in the number of families and individuals facing poverty or financial uncertainty.The charity has experienced an 142% increase in demand for emergency food parcels over the last 12 months, 37% being distributed for children, and a significant upturn in calls to the helpline looking for support during these extremely difficult times.
