On Thursday 9th October Sarah, James and I will be sleeping outside in Leeds to raise funding for Simon on the Streets - an independent local charity offering unlimited emotional and practical support for homeless and vulnerable people to enable them to achieve their goals.

Being an independent charity means that, to keep going, Simon on the Streets has to raise all its own funding each year. If like us you can't bear the sight of less fortunate members of the community having to sleep outside every night in desperate and dangerous circumstances, then by donating here you can make a difference and take a safe, practical step to helping the homeless.

All Simon's services are delivered on an outreach basis directly on the streets. They deliver outreach during the day but also in the evening and in the early hours of the morning when many of the most vulnerable are struggling. We want to support an individual to achieve their own goals and aspirations whatever they may be.
