I am taking part in the Sleepout 2025 to raise funds for Burton YMCA.

Homelessness can happen to any one of us. It has no boundaries and lives and circumstances can change very quickly.

There are many reasons and life changing moments that can lead to sleeping rough on the street or sofa surfing night after night.

YMCA help people to change lives through a breadth of vital services.

They provide homeless outreach, rough sleeper provision, emergency bed space, accommodation, family mediation, counselling, community foodbank, lunch club, support and engagement, and complex needs support.

Every donation, no matter how big or small, helps them continue providing these services to the people of Burton and beyond.

Thank you.
