Story

I DID IT - see the photos below!!! Thank you all for supporting me! Yes, I really was outside on the pavement all night - and the experience helped me appreciate even more the lives of vulnerable homeless people. We had the thumping music from nightclubs, cheering and shouting of revelers as the pubs and clubs closed, the changing weather, the rats (!) and the uncertainty of not knowing how passers by might treat us. We also had many lovely people come and cheer us on and donate.

The money we have raised so far from the 'Sleep Out' will keep 15 people in the night shelter this winter. But my 'JUST GIVING' page is STILL OPEN! If you can, PLEASE DONATE and my charity, MK Community Foundation will direct your donation so that vulnerable people including families and older people have enough to eat and can afford to heat their homes this winter, so reducing how many people die or are hospitalised due to cold winter weather. THANK YOU AGAIN - you're all stars - and remember every £1 I raise matters 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to my charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Please dig deep and donate now - and pass this page on to others. Thank you.
