Support the first London Sleepout
Fundraising for Centrepoint
Story
https://forms.gle/co5p8L2EUenWsVATA
We raise money in aid of Centrepoint UK Homeless charity and we are currently organising an event on December 22nd/ 23rd in London shaking buckets raising money for the UK’s homeless. We will be in Covent Garden from 9am dec 22nd till 6pm dec 23rd. On the night of the 22nd we will be sleeping outdoors before resuming fundraising again on the morning of the 23rd.
We would like to humbly request any help you can give. If you can spare any money to donate to this worthwhile charity or if you can spare any time to shake a bucket with us at the sleepout you will be more than welcome.
This charity started in Dublin 41 years, it has been hugely effective and this is its first year in London. So we wanted to ask for help in any way possible.
Background
To give you a bit of background to our charity we have raised funds for the homeless of Ireland for the last 41 years. Last year alone we raised over 400,000 Euro with more than three hundred volunteers. The event has become an institution of Christmas in Dublin where volunteers collect all day and sleep rough to raise money for homeless charities.

We are endeavouring to bring the event to London to raise more much needed funds for homeless charities here. So simultaneously while we are sleeping out in London there will be similar volunteers sleeping in two city centre sites in Dublin. We are officially working in aid of Centrepoint UK Homeless charity and will be collecting 100% of all funds directly for them. We would be delighted to provide our legal proofs of endeavour as well as bona fide references from Centrepoint and Focus Ireland in Dublin. We will also supply all required Risk assessments and paperwork.
