The Great Tommy Sleep Out, 26 March 2021

Story

Hi all, I am doing a sleep out without a tent at the end of March to raise money for the RBLI ( British Legion) , initially for 1 night, and I will do an extra night for each £500 raised,and if I hit £1500 I will do the last night naked 😳, except for footwear as the ground is a bit hurty and I may fashion a grass skirt out of something so as not to get arrested but you get the drift .. pics and vids will be added during the sleepout .. I will be making a shelter in my local area from whatever is lying around on the floor.. no trees will be harmed in the making of this film😏, so dig deep or shallow as every penny counts, and please share this on your pages and with your friends ... I’m looking to smash all targets so here’s a thank you in advance 👍👍

The Great Tommy Sleep Out is a virtual challenge designed to build awareness and think about those that are homeless, especially at this time of year! There are over 6,000 veterans that are homeless and this is an opportunity to challenge yourselves and help us raise funds for veterans, and those with disabilities that RBLI supports. Many of these are living in precarious housing, or sofa surfing, as a result of broken families or personal financial difficulties. RBLIs holistic and practical approach provides help with adapted homes, depression, substance issues, health care, skills and employability, and tackles multiple issues at once. We support the most in need veterans, some of the most vulnerable people in the UK who are living with physical disabilities and mental health conditions. With our help they learn to overcome complex disabilities, homelessness, long-term health issues and addictions. Can you last the night? Sleep beneath stars and support our Armed Forces Community
