Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On the nights of the 19th and 20th December, I will be sleeping rough for two nights. I won’t have any shelter, just a sleeping bag and some cardboard. Every winter, I find myself thinking about homeless people and all of the difficulties they face in the harshest conditions. Everybody deserves shelter and a warm, safe place to sleep. Although my challenge does not come close to replicating homelessness it will allow me to appreciate everything that I have whilst raising money to help those less fortunate.

Happy Days UK works directly with people in Calderdale who are homeless or in crisis. Their services include supported accommodation, crisis support, food support, health clinics and a winter shelter. Their aim is to help people move towards safe, stable and independent lives.

I want to raise as much money as possible to support the work they do in our local community.

My challenge:

2 nights sleeping rough

Just a sleeping bag and cardboard

No tent or other shelter

Raising money for Happy Days UK

Raising awareness of homelessness in Calderdale

If you can donate, no matter how much, it would mean a huge amount to me and, more importantly, help support people who are experiencing homelessness and crisis locally.

If you can't donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser. Every share could help reach someone who is able to contribute.

Thank you for supporting me in taking on this challenge and supporting Happy Days UK.

If two nights out in the cold, on some cardboard and in a sleeping bag can help even one person then it will be well worth it!

Thank you for taking the time to read this.
