Although some people opt to raise money doing something they love, we are not.

Anyone who knows me will know that sleeping rough is not my idea of fun.

I would therefore encourage anybody reading this to dig deep and support this vital cause.

I am volunteering myself to sleep out in the cold (and probably wet) courtyard at the Royal Academy for one night with strangers and a couple of colleagues. I may not be the most glamorous of girls, but I can tell you I am not looking forward to potentially waking up in a puddle!

I am fortunate and incredibly grateful that I have never been in a position where sleeping rough has become necessary. However, having lived in London most of my life, I have always been very much aware of those who are bound by poverty. When a rough sleeper asks me to spare some change I often do; or I’ll offer to buy a sandwich, (this is a grey area up for discussion). Fortunately, charities like the Cardinal Hume Centre offer a much more well-rounded option in the services they provide to their clients, which is why I urge you to support the centre and our Sleepout on 6^th November.  

Where your money will go: 
£12 can pay for a young person to travel to college for a week
£25 can pay for a kitchen ‘starter pack’ so a young homeless person can learn to cook.
£50 can pay for bedding and towels for when they move into their new room.
