Those of you who know me may now that I feel passionately about homeless relief, especially youth homelessness. On Feb 28th myself and a group of employees from Coventry Building Society will be taking part in an event to raise money, Sleep Out for Centrepoint.

We'll be swapping our beds for a sleeping bag to help Centrepoint give homeless young people the safety, security and ability to escape homelessness for good.

In 2022-2023, 136,000 16-25 year olds presented to their local councils as homeless or at risk of becoming homeless, that’s 1 young person every 4 minutes. This is unacceptable. Centrepoint believes they know the way to end youth homelessness, but they need our help to get there.

We know that holding our own Sleep Out does not aim to replicate the experience of sleeping rough, but instead provides a small glimpse into the harsh realities faced by many young people each year. By sleeping out we will raise awareness of the situation for thousands of young people, whilst raising funds to support Centrepoint's vital services.

Your donations will go towards providing urgent housing and wraparound support, as well as the important advocacy work Centrepoint do to make sure youth homelessness is at the forefront of Government agenda.

Please give if you can, every penny is appreciated and will do the world of good.
