On Friday 25th November, I am taking part in St Basils' Big Sleepout at Millennium Point, to support young people who are homeless / at risk of becoming homeless. Many of us are going into this winter with a sense of dread. The cost of living is soaring, energy prices have more than doubled and the weekly shop is more expensive than ever. Most of us have the resources to face these rises, by cutting down on luxuries or dipping into savings we can survive the winter, but what do you do if youre already struggling to make ends meet and keep a roof over your head? These increases will push many people into poverty and many family relationships will break down under the strain and people will lose their homes. With that in mind, Im asking for donations to help ensure that all young people at risk of homelessness in our region can get the help they need.
