Friday 7th October I am taking part with some of my colleagues in Bolton’s Big Sleep Out to raise money for BACKUP northwest. We will be sleeping out on the streets from 7pm until 7am to raise money for an amazing organisation in Bolton.

Homelessness can happen to anyone, at any time and for a young vulnerable person this can place them in a very unsafe place. By taking part in The Big Bolton Sleepout, youll swap your cosy bed for a sleeping bag for one night. Whilst we do not wish to replicate homelessness, the event will give a small insight into some of the harsh realities faced by rough sleepers.Joining together and shining a light on youth homelessness and raising vital funds we can transform the lives of the young people that have already had many challenges to overcome. If you believe they deserve a future then brave the night in the cold for Backup.
