Story

I am taking part in the YMCA Bournemouth BIG Sleep Easy 2025, an event that holds a special place in my heart.

I was once homeless myself - sleeping in an alleyway in Windsor in my early 20's.

Every night, countless individuals find themselves without a safe place to sleep, facing the harsh realities of homelessness. This event is not just about spending a night outdoors; it’s about raising awareness and funds to support those who are less fortunate.

On October 18th, 2025, I will join others in this challenge, aiming to raise £500 for YMCA Bournemouth. Your support can make a significant difference in the lives of those who need it most.

I invite you to join me on this journey. Together, we can provide shelter and hope for those who are struggling. Please consider donating to help us reach our goal and make a positive impact in our community.
