On average, homeless people die aged just 47 On November 9 I'm swapping my cosy comforts for a night outside with nothing but a sleeping bag and a cardboard mat, as I take part in the Eden Projects fourth Sleep Out event. Sleep Out doesn’t aim to replicate homelessness, but it does show you some of the realities – the cold, the damp, the noise and the difficulty of carrying on your day with little sleep. 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'm fundraising for St Petroc's – a vital local organisation who provide accommodation, support and advice to homeless individuals in Cornwall. Any support you are able to give them will be very greatly appreciated – and will help me have sweet dreams during the Sleep Out event!
