Taking place on Friday 12th October, the Turf Sleepout will ask those taking part to give up the comfort of their own bed for the night and commit to raising a minimum of £250 to be split three ways between Burnley FC in the Community (charity number: 1155856), homelessness charity Emmaus (charity number: 1064470) and SafeNet Domestic Abuse Service for Janes Place Womens Refuge (charity number: 1091544).

During the past few years I have become more and more aware of the ever increasing number of people living on our streets.This excellent initiative by BurnleyFC in the Community gives me the opportunity [in a small way] to support the homeless as well as others in our society who need some security in their lives.   

Any donations to help me reach [or exceed] my £250 sponsorship target will be greatly appreciated.   

Best Wishes, Ian
