This March I’m taking part in The Great Tommy Sleepout to raise money for the Royal British Veterans’ Enterprise (RBVE).

I’ll be sleeping outside one night each weekend throughout March, in and around my hometown, sometimes alone, sometimes alongside other fundraisers that include veterans themselves.

Veteran homelessness is a real issue. Thousands of ex-servicemen and women face unstable housing, mental health challenges, and isolation.

To add to the challenge, I’ll also be completing a best effort 10 mile off road march each weekend carrying a 40lb backpack in the hope that I “won’t take much rocking” to get to sleep out in the cold.

RBVE is a remarkable charity helping UK veterans rebuild their lives by providing safe homes, employment and community support. They’re also developing the ambitious £30 million Centenary Village in Kent, providing homes and tailored long-term support for veterans.

Through programmes like Lifeworks and Britain’s Bravest Manufacturing Company, RBVE gives veterans and their families the skills, training and job opportunities they deserve.

If you’re able to donate, it would mean a lot.

Every contribution helps support those who have served our country.

Thankyou
