It's that time of year again when I start begging for contributions to this year's Stamford Bridge Sleep Out.

This will be the fifth time I have taken part and again, we will be supporting a very worthy cause - namely the Stoll and Barons Court Project.

Stoll is the leading provider of housing and support for veterans in the UK, with 5 sites across London and Aldershot. Alongside their function as a Housing Association, Stoll provides a variety of support with mental health and employability, regular activities such as art and exercise classes, and social opportunities to veterans, increasing their self-confidence and quality of life.

Barons Court Project is Hammersmith and Fulham’s only day centre serving people who are homeless. Their practical services are designed to meet all their needs, from meals, showers and laundry to new clothes. They also offer 1-1 support to access benefits, housing and employment, and run a range of well-being activities including art, men’s and women’s groups, and trips out, catering for guests' bodies, minds and spirits.

Ignore the fact its Chelsea - this is a great cause doing a lot of good for the local community.

Thank you.
