The Sleepout 2020 · 9 October 2020 ·
Can you help? Even if it is just £1 please sponsor me.
Together we can make a difference
I’ve never walked passed someone homeless that’s living on the streets, I generally offer food & kind words of support but sometimes I give money.
Ive always believed that no matter what our background / problems / situations we all deserve a roof over our heads!
At the end of 2019 it was estimated that 320,000 people were homeless (according to Shelter)! It’s really concerning that Covid-19 is increasing homelessness and that the economic crisis will push more people into needing help in this area too.
Now feels like the right time to start helping (it’s also World Homeless day today 10/10/20), so me, Jane Lomax and Emma Dilemma have decided to spend a night sleeping out (eg. the streets or a car park) in Bristol to raise awareness as well as some much needed funds for a charity that helps homeless people in all kinds of ways, in Bristol.
Date of sleep out: was 20th November but due to lockdown this is now Thursday 29th July 2021 - our chosen charity: Caring in Bristol
What they do: Provide shelter with beds and other easy access spaces, a night support team, food delivery, breakfast for homeless with some cafes, give out a handbook about services and support homeless people over Christmas, try to prevent homelessness.
Please if you can donate to my just giving page
