Big Bath Sleep Out · 4 March 2016 ·

Story

Ben:

I love supporting the homeless and I've always wanted to know what it feels like when they sleep rough.  I am really excited about doing this and it would be great if you could sponsor me.

Good bits - having hot chocolate, staying up late and feeling what it's like to be a homeless person.

Bad bits - a bit cold

Victoria:

I don't think that this country does enough to support the homeless and there is too much stigma attached to homelessness.  There are many reasons why people sleep rough and we need to help these men and women.  Ben has raised money for Julian House from an early age and he's wanted to do this sleep out for a long time.  I've finally succumbed!

Good bits - not sure there will be many!  The camaraderie and doing something like this with Ben.

Bad bits - cold, wet, uncomfortable, snoring etc. etc.
