I did this event last year and had such a great nights sleep - in a cardboard box on the hard ground, in the freezing cold with background traffic noise and street lights - that I couldn't wait for the opportunity to do this again! ;-)

It does not take much for someone to become homeless and young people are particularly vulnerable. 80,000 young people experience homelessness every year in the UK. If you can help your generosity would be very gratefully received and put to good use by the YMCA. I have met young people who West London YMCA have helped by providing them with a roof over their heads, and thereby giving them the safety and security neeeded for them to find work rather than finding somewhere to sleep.
