On the 2nd of March 2024, 18 Scouts and 3 Leaders from 1st Llantwit Major Scout Group will be participating in the RBLI's "The Great Tommy Sleepout 2024". This event aims to raise vital funds and awareness for over 6000 veterans experiencing homelessness in the UK right now.

We will be swapping our beds for sleeping bags and sleeping outside in shelters built from carboard boxes.

Imagine sleeping rough, with nothing but a cardboard box for shelter. It's a reality that thousands of veterans face every night. But together, we can make a difference.

With every penny raised, Royal British Legion Industries can provide safe, warm housing and ensure everyone has a fair opportunity to gain employment, regardless of health conditions or disability. By supporting this incredible cause, you are helping to transform lives and give hope to those who have served our country.

We are reaching out to you today with an urgent ask - please help us raise much-needed funds for this cause. Your contribution, no matter how small, will make a significant impact on the lives of these brave men and women who have sacrificed so much for our freedom.

Join us in making a difference. Together, we can ensure that no veteran is left behind.

Our RBLI beanies have arrived, these will help to keep the fund raises nice and warm.
