Nobody should sleep outside in winter but many people have no choice. For the homeless on the streets of Cambridge and the refugees in northern France, who sleep on waste land around Calais and Dunkirk, homelessness is not their fault. They may be in this situation because they have lost their job, have family or health problems, have fled persecution, or because their home was destroyed by bombs. They all face the same struggles, conditions and stigmatisation.

I'm taking part in CamCRAG's sponsored sleepout in the beautiful setting of St Giles' Church on the corner of Castle Hill, from 5-6 Feb 2022. I'll be inside a tent, so only experiencing a tiny bit of what some people have to endure all year round. Any donations are so gratefully received; every little helps. Proceeds from this fundraiser and the event as a whole will support CamCRAG's convoys to Northern France and their local charity partner, Cambridge Street Aid.
