It's that time of year where it starts to get bitterly cold again and whilst most of us are going home after work around 307,000 people (classed as homeless in the UK) won't be - thats more than the entire population of Newcastle - and that's only those who are actually being counted.
This year, nearly half of the JGA Group's staff (based in Eastcote) will be participating in the Trinity Homeless Projects's Big SleepOut. This means we'll be sleeping out in the cold on December 1st in cardboard boxes. Whilst this doesn't come near to the sheer reality of homelessness, it's our way of supporting a cause that's trying to tackle the ever-growing epidemic.
During the event, we will be live tweeting which you can follow on our twitter @JgaGroup or you can follow the hashtag #itcouldbeme. Last year the JGA group raised nearly £2000 for the Trinity Homeless Projects through donations.
The money raised will help to make sure that everyone has a roof over their head in the NW London community.
