For the 4th year running, on 9th November, I will be taking part in the Sleepout at Eden, raising much needed funds for St Petroc's - Cornwall's homelessness charity. These funds will help the charity to provide additional provision over the winter to give shelter to our homeless citizens and to continue the amazing work that they do in helping to support these people. Remember this could happen to any one of us. The loss of a job, breakdown of relationship, debt - not everyone is fortunate enough to have a family network to support them and house them in times of need. Would you be willing to swap your bed for a sleeping bag and cardboard mat for one night? Sleep Out doesn’t aim to replicate homelessness, but it does show us some of the realities – the cold, the damp, the noise and the difficulty of carrying on your day with little sleep. It’s not easy. The event helps to raise awareness of the issues around homelessness but also raises valuable funding and support for local grassroots organisations who are taking direct action to support homeless people to get back on their feet and turn their lives around. I hope you will feel able to support me again this year and thank you in advance to those of you who do.
