For the fourth year running, the Eden Project – where I proudly work – is hosting a Sleep Out event. Over the last few years I've watched with awe as colleagues and participants have taken part, sleeping outside in the Cornish November cold. Eden will be one of a number of locations hosting this event throughout the UK with the aim of raising over £1,000,000. And this year, I've finally decided to push myself and sign up to take part. 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 on Thursday 9 November during the Sleep Out event!
