Story
The weather is getting colder and this is the very worst time of year to be homeless and on the streets, which is why myself, Richard Vellacott, Community Champion for Tesco in Llandrindod Wells, and Jake Berriman, Powys County Councillor for Llandrindod North are sleeping rough in Llandrindod Wells on the 1st of December 2023 to raise awareness of, and hard cash for, the homeless. I will be raising awareness of former service men and women on our streets. I have, over the past 3 years, taken part in the Great Tommy Sleepout during the month of March to raise funds for the Royal British Legion Industries, and will be again in 2024. We are both members of the Llandrindod Wells - Royal British Legion. We will be teaming up with, and will be supported by, a local charity https:/www.facebook.com/HelpingOurHomelessWales .
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.
Please help me to raise much needed funds for this incredible cause.
