What do you think or feel when you walk past a homeless person?
Well, in the prosperous and modern city of Milton Keynes (UK) , you wouldn't see many as the issue of homelessness is kept very much under wraps! No pun intended.
However, the harsh truth is that over 1200 people are currently homeless and sleeping rough in Milton Keynes alone, and that's not counting Sofa Surfers!. those in B&Bs and Hostels.
In 2015, SSW had the huge privilege of working with the Milton Keynes YMCA and met and worked with many of the homeless people that were benefiting from the awesome work of this important charity.
So, when they asked for support for their 2016 Sleep Easy event - for us, it was a no brainer! And we're blown away by our friends and relatives and associates that are volunteering with us.
We'll be supporting the YMCA on the 22nd of April 2016, by doing a sponsored sleeping rough night, in order to raise money and awareness for this important issue.
We all love our cosy warm beds, a safe, comfortable roof over our head - but for many people this is far from their reality - and again, the harsh reality is that many, many people in the UK are only a few pay-checks away from this kind of hard-ship too.
So, please, give what you can, support our amazing volunteers in their efforts on this one night in April and spare us a thought as we do just a small bit to make a massive difference.
With all our heart, we say a massive thank you for your donations. (and don't forget to tick the Gift-Aid box).
Stephen and Sheena Whitton + our amazing volunteers.
