On 23 November, I will be sleeping outside overnight to fund the Slough Winter Night Shelter
The shelter is open from December until the end of March
Guests receive breakfast, a warm evening meal and a place to sleep every night
Volunteers work with clients to help find permanent accommodation and employment, a volunteer podiatrist helps to improve foot health and guests are offered new warm coats
The funds we raised in 2018 meant that:
- 44 people were accommodated across a 3 month period
- Six of these guests were victims of domestic violence and are now all in safe accommodation
- Overall, 22 guests are now in settled accommodation
It costs £15 per person, per night to run the shelter.
Even a small donation can have a life-changing impact on a vulnerable person with no other sources of support in their life
If you are able to donate, I would be so grateful if you would sponsor me, even if it is a small amount. We smashed our target last year and we're looking to do it again!
