Some of you may recall that I spent 24Hrs of my time volunteering for Caring at Christmas over the holiday season last year.  I will do the same again this year, but in addition, to help raise awareness and funds, I will be sleeping rough in the centre of Bristol on the evening of 11th October. 

No matter what the weather brings I will go equipped with a sleeping bag and some cardboard to keep me as comfortable as possible. The Sleep Out runs from 10pm through to 7am the following morning.

According to Bristol City Council there 82 rough sleepers in Bristol in December 2018 which represents only the tip of the homeless problem in the city.

I hope that my action will raise funds to support the homeless, rough sleepers and vulnerable people in our city.  As I found first hand last year it also provides an opportunity to understand some of the issues faced by the homeless and rough sleepers, who are often very alone and very afraid.

Your support through a donation will help provide hot meals, a bed and a listening ear and so much more.

Will you support me this year??
