This year the number of new rough sleepers each week is expected to triple, so we're sleeping rough to raise money for Off The Fence - a charity who works to restore the lives and hopes of the homeless, women at risk and vulnerable school children in the Brighton & Hove area.

On the 12th November we're taking part in The Big Sleep Out, an annual challenge organised by Off The Fence who provide participants the experience of what life is like for rough sleepers.

Winter is a dangerous time of year where people on the street suffer terribly due to the horrendously cold conditions and can face the risk of freezing to death. There are also many other complex problems that they face in their day-to-day lives.

Off The Fence's homeless projects cover short-term emergency support, medium-term care and long-term solutions. This not only insures rough sleepers survive a freezing night on the streets but have access to basic needs, such as food, clothing, good hygiene and ongoing support into permanent accommodation and employment, and become an active member of the community.

Please donate what you can and help us reach our target, so that Off The Fence can continue their vital work in the community.
