SleepEasy 2019 YMCA Bedfordshire · 15 March 2019 ·

We have over 200 bed spaces across Bedfordshire and recognise the trauma caused by homelessness. We also offer three domestic abuse support and resettlement teams, a free-to-use food larder, affordable used furniture, and have a boutique interiors and gifts shop to benefit our other services.

Story

The number of rough sleepers in Luton has risen by 14% in the last few years, sadly my town now sits at number 5 in the top 10 highest local authority rough sleeper counts. To put this into perspective Manchester sits at number 4, a city which has over double the population! 

I see people on the streets everyday young, old, male and female all who are desperate need of help. These people appear to me even more vividly in winter when it’s bitterly cold and I go home to a warm house, hot meal and a dry bed. So on the 15th March I will be sleeping rough for one night to raise vital funds to support those who are invisible to so many. 

Any small amount you can donate in sponsorship really will be appreciated, thank you.
