As I stood outside in the cold a couple of weeks ago, my first thought was to get inside and to put the heating on. I then began to think what a luxury it is to be able to warm yourself up so quickly without really thinking. My next thought went to those people who are not so fortunate and who have nobody or nowhere to turn to, and I decided there and then that this Christmas I would make a difference. Thankfully there are a lot of people that are kindly giving up a night in a comfy bed to join me in making money for this cause.
Next year the Milton Keynes YMCA will be losing all of the state funding which pays for the work they do to support homeless young people!
So we are going to take part in a sponsored 'sleep out' which means we will all be lying on top of cardboard boxes in our sleeping bags in Milton Keynes on December 5th 2015. We are going to sleep here, there and everywhere to show what it is really like to be homeless. To help with this we will film throughout the night, and have some lovely singers to keep us entertained :).
EVERYONE is welcome, the more the merrier!
So if you can find it in your heart to dig into your pockets and donate however small or large a donation you can afford, we would be forever grateful.
Together lets make some people who are less fortunate than ourselves happy this Christmas.
