This March, at the grand age of 70, I will be taking part in "The Great Tommy Sleep Out" 2026. Every night, thousands of veterans right here in the UK are facing the harsh reality of sleeping rough. Together, we can change it. I and other veterans from the Oxted Legion Branch will be swapping the comfort of our beds for one night, under the stars (maybe a tarp). No frills. No luxury. Just us, our sleeping bags and the cold. Every pound you donate will go directly to Royal British Veterans Enterprise (RBVE), helping provide safe homes, mental health support, employment opportunities, and a community of veterans who support each other.This isn’t just a fundraiser - it’s a statement: we don’t leave our veterans behind.
