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.

This year it feels really important that I take action to join this event as I witness so much more homelessness in my community and all around our world. Any donation to sponsor me would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks Elaine
