A group of students will spend Friday 8th December sleeping on the streets of Darlington in near freezing temperatures to raise vital funds and awareness of youth homelessness. A mix of Year 12 and 13 students at QE will sleep out on the town’s pavements to highlight the plight of tens of thousands of young people at risk of being homeless this winter. They hope to raise hundreds of pounds for Centrepoint, a leading UK charity with an ambitious mission to end youth homelessness by 2037. It provides housing and support to young people throughout the North East, as well as in Yorkshire, Manchester and London. The charity relies on funds to offer homeless young people accommodation, health support and life skills, in order to get them back into education, training and employment.
