On 4th April 2025 myself, Shirley and Mark will be sleeping on the cobbles of St Johns Square in Blackpool Town Centre to raise awareness about youth homelessness and much needed funds to support small charity, Streetlife. Anyone that knows us knows we like our home comforts so we will be completely out of our zone. Please think of us freezing and give generously.

Last year Streetlife supported over 300 vulnerable, and often homesless young people via their 8 bed emergency night shelter and welcoming day centre.

Over the last 2 years average occupancy at the night shelter has risen significantly, proving that this lifeline is still very much needed.

They run the only emergency night shelter in Blackpool for young people aged 16-25 who may find themselves with nowhere safe to sleep.

Whilst giving up my bed for one night will only be a small glimpse into the trauma of homelessness, I am hoping that my efforts in braving all of the Blackpool weather will raise lots of money to ensure a young person in need does not have to do the same.

Please dig deep - your kind donations will help keep me warm on the night by knowing I am making a difference.
