Event: Bethany Big Sleep Out, on 20 March 2020
Sleep Out to end homelessness in Scotland

Story

Last year I had 1 or 2 rats run across me at about 11pm - one way and then back again.  That kept me awake more than the cold or the noise.

In January I broke my back, which I'm sharing in hope of sympathy donations.  Doctor's advice was to lie down a lot so next Friday is just what I'm meant to do...

The experience will be challenging, but it is nothing compared to what those who have to sleep rough have to go through every night. For us, this may be our worst sleep ever, but this is the reality for many people in Scotland today.

 An example of what your donation could do is;£21 could provide a hot meal, a safe, warm bed and specialist support for someone who would otherwise be forced to sleep outside. £75 could pay for a weekly drop-in to support homeless and isolated people gain skills and build confidence. £250 could fund 3 months support for someone who has been homeless and is resettling in the community.Please support Bethany's essential work in ending homelessness in Scotland, one person at a time.
