Homeless people are over nine times more likely to take their own life than the general population and more than one in three people sleeping rough have been deliberately hit or kicked or experienced some other form of violence whilst homeless.

I will be sleeping outside County Hall in late January to help raise money for Alabare Christian Care Centres. They are an amazing charity that works hard to fight homelessness and provide support for homeless people, veterans and people with learning disabilities.

Anything you can donate will be greatly appreciated, so please give your pennies and pounds to help support such an amazing cause.
