Story

I have slept rough many times in my life but always by choice. It is the same this saturday - a privileged group of comfortable people in Cambridge make a gesture of discomfort for a few hours to nudge some other comfortable people to support those who are struggling in reality to find warmth and shelter. I am doing it because I know that Camcrag have a strong practice of delivering help where it is needed and that they will use your donation to lessen suffering for a good few people.
