Story

Hi, I'm Joshua. I'm 9 years old and next month, I'm swapping my comfortable warm bed to sleep outside with my dad. Not just for one night, but for A WHOLE WEEK! 

The Great Tommy Sleep Out 2022 finishes on Sunday 27th March, so we will be camping outside and finishing on that date with everyone else taking part. 

I'll still be going to school, and dad going to work, whilst supporting the RBLI.

Please donate to this wonderful charity! 

Essential supplies your donations could buy for a recently homeless veteran moving into emergancy accommodation; 

£2 give thems PPE

£5 accesses fresh toiletries

£15 supports access to hot meals 

£25 gets someone completely fresh bedding. 

£35 gives someone a set of new clothes 

£70 would get a pack of electrical kitchen items

£100 provides support and training for employment

I hope you will support us on my mission to help homeless veterans
