I am taking part in the 2022 Leeds Big Sleep to raise money and awareness for the charities; St George's Crypt, St Gemma's Hospice and Leeds Rhinos Foundation.

All charities play their part in helping and supporting the homeless and community within the city and surrounding area.

Why have I chosen to do this?

I always do whatever I can, when I can to help those most in need, whether it is contributing to the local food bank, or collecting laptops for underprivileged children, I always try and help.

However, I can see that there sadly seems to be more people sleeping rough on the streets in Leeds.

I just felt I needed to do more to help. Just giving up one night to sleep on some cardboard in the hope of raising awareness, and sponsors for the charities is the least I can do.  Every penny raised is shared equally between the three Leeds based Charities and therefore helps people that are in desperate need.”

Please support me in this event if you can so we can try and help those who face winter on the streets.
