Hi! My name is Dinisia and I will be taking part in the annual sleepout to raise money for The Wellspring in Stockport.

I am currently a volunteer at The Wellspring where I help out twice a week. This is an organisation I feel very passionate about and seeing the work they do for those in need is incredible.

I did the sleepout for the first time last year and it was such a great experience and I really hope I can raise some money for them again this year.

Thank you so much!

Let’s be honest—spending one night without a roof over our heads can’t truly reflect the reality of homelessness.

The experiences of those we support are deeply complex and unique to each individual. But the Sleepout gives us a moment to reflect—to consider, even briefly, the challenges faced by people sleeping rough.

If we take that time to imagine how it might feel, we may find ourselves moved to make a difference.
