After hearing about the Sleep Out at Eden from a good friend, I was amazed to read the statistics of how many people homelessness is a reality for, and had no idea that Cornwall is the 5th highest area in the UK for numbers of rough sleepers.
I am so lucky to have a warm house to come home to every night and cannot imagine how difficult it must be to face night after night sleeping out whatever the weather. So, I've decided to spend one night sleeping out (on November 10th), with only a piece of cardboard and a sleeping bag for warmth to help raise awareness and fund raise for this amazing charity - St Petroc's Society.
Those of you who know me well, know that I love my home comforts and am not even a fan of camping so this will be a challenge to say the least. But 1 night is nothing in comparison to what so many face each day.
Please please if you can spare even £1 I would be so grateful... knowing I'm raising much needed funds will help me brave the cold a little easier.
Thank you for your support x
