We (Susan and Rachel) will be spending the night on the cobbles at the Charity Link offices in Leicester city centre, going without a warm, cosy bed for the night to help raise funds to buy essentials, like a bed, for local people currently living every day in hardship.

The aim is to go from 8pm until 8am the next morning.

We believe that all local people deserve a decent standard of living, with a right to adequate food, shelter and the means to keep warm, clean and rested – no matter what difficulty they may be facing. We do this by finding funding to provide the essential items that everyone deserves.We can’t do this without the vital support of our donors. Every £10 donated unlocks £50 from charitable trusts and every single penny goes to help local people and children in need.
