I am really looking forward to the Eden Project Sleepout this year. Its a great event with lots of entertainment and you meet some wonderful people. Last year it was freezing cold, i got very little sleep and even went to work the next day but it was all worth it and I raised £170 for St Petrocs.
I'm doing this for St Petrocs which is a local homeless charity which aims provide accommodation, support, advice, training and resettlement services to single homeless people in Cornwall.
The single homeless are those who, more often than not, fall outside the responsibility of statutory authorities. Very often they are sleeping rough and may have a range of difficulties, including mental ill health, relationship breakdown, drug or alcohol dependency, or an offending lifestyle which contribute to their homelessness and social exclusion. St Petroc's exists to provide a diverse range of services for this particular.
I'm am hoping to raise £150 in total for this wonderful charity. I have been so thankful to my family in the past who have supported me when times have gotten really tough and I hate to think where I could have ended up if I didn't have them. This charity focuses on offering people who don't have the same privilege to show them that they are supported and can get help.
