Participants: Unite Students Sleepout Team

SLEEPOUT · 24 November 2016

1625 Independent People work with young people who are homeless, leaving care or at risk of homelessness in Bristol and the South West. We provide safe and stable accommodation, as well as practical and emotional support to develop independent living skills.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On the 24th of November I will be taking to the streets with a team of my colleagues and joining the National Sleep Out, a nationwide event to raise awareness for the thousands of people who have to do so every night. There will be 2,500 people doing this across the country, showing solidarity for the 83,000 young people who don't have a choice every night.

We will be provided with waterproof bags and cardboard boxes, and left to brave the cold November night. While this is in no way meant to be replicating the exact hardships young people have to go through, it is a way to raise awareness and provide some much needed funds for the charities who help support them in getting off the streets and into homes, employment and better lives.

Anybody who knows how much I love the cold (#sarcasm), will appreciate that I'm not going to find this easy! Any donations will go to 1625 Independent People, a Bristol-based charity who do incredible things to support the young people in this area. If you would like to know any more, I'm very happy to bend your ear! Every pound counts and I'd really appreciate your support. Thank you!
