On Thursday 24 November, Rivergate in Temple Quay will become our home for the night. Around 200 people will bed down for the night, with just a sleeping bag and protective sheet on the ground.
This is not about pretending to be homeless! It’s about raising awareness about the issues our young people are facing.
