On Monday 12th October my partner, Marcus Webster, and I will be sleeping outside, overnight at the Kia Oval with 150 people from the business community.

Although you might think this event is only intended for CEOs, we are both taking part to help raise vitally needed funds for the Cardinal Hume Centre’s
work tackling poverty and homelessness. Last year over 1,700 people visited the Centre looking for help, advice and support as times became tougher for them and their families.

While sleeping out for this one night does not compare to the reality for those people who face it day in and day out, the act of solidarity will, I hope, help highlight the issue of poverty and raise funds for the Centre’s work.

Any donations will be gratefully appreciated and will help to send the message that homelessness and poverty should simply not exist in the modern world.

Thank you very much  Marcus & Alice xx
