Hello everyone!

Thanks for visiting my page.

I'm sleeping rough, under the stars, in a box, in a field for an evening. Why? To raise money for the boys and girls at Launchpad.

Launchpad are amazing! As Reading’s largest independent housing charity, Launchpad works to break the cycle of homelessness and overcome social exclusion by providing affordable, well maintained and safe supported accommodation. 

Here's what peeps are saying.

‘I am struggling to find the words to express my grateful thanks to you all, for my life has changed beyond belief for the better...you have restored my faith in others and now I have a place to call home’

Me sleeping rough for one night is nothing compared to what some people have to endure day in day out, but if it helps to raise a little money and awareness then that's wicked and it'll make me happy.

In case you need some persuasion, here's where your money is going:

£200 a refurbished computer for clients to use at Launchpad to look for a job

£14 a weekly bus pass for a support worker to visit clients across Reading

£300 forklift truck driver’s license

£25 steel toe-capped boots for a driver’s mate

£200 materials cost for part time course in Beauty Therapy

£40 for CSCS test and card (to work in the construction industry)

£5 gardening gloves for a client for Launchpad

£15 Wellington boots for a client of Launchpad

£35 for a new wheel barrow

£50 vegetable seeds for a new season’s growing for the Allotment

£300 a new petrol lawn mower for our 17 gardens

£12 a new set of keys for a new resident

£35 a microwave

£40 a tank of petrol for our maintenance van

£50,000 a deposit on a four bedroom house

Please, please, please donate! It's such a good cause.

Thank you so much.
