On the 18th of October this year, along with my colleagues, I will be donning my finest bobble hat to SLEEP OUT beneath the Crooked Spire. 

Together with our fabulous supporters, we will be roughing it outside for two very important reasons:

REASON ONE: RAISING FUNDS 

Pathways of Chesterfield is a fantastic service which provides holistic support for individuals and families experiencing homelessness or a housing crisis. Pathways is a centre that is a place of acceptance, empowerment and change where clients will be given the help, skills and the confidence to resolve their issues of homelessness. We are lucky enough to be able to provide housing and tenancy support, specialist mental health nursing, outreach services, emergency food and clothing provisions and a social group for support, advice and companionship. As the only centre of its kind in Chesterfield, the work that Pathways does is vitally important and presents a unique platform as a catalyst for change. Every penny that we raise will contribute towards supporting some of the most vulnerable members of our community to move towards a less volatile and more appropriate lifestyle in which their hopes and aspirations can be realised.

REASON TWO: RAISING  AWARENESS 

For most of us, the SLEEP OUT stands as one night of discomfort before we are able to snuggle back into our own duvets and enjoy the creature comforts of our own homes. However, for many of our clients and thousands of others facing such conditions, rough sleeping is a regular, isolating and dangerous reality. We are hopeful that this SLEEP OUT will not only afford us with a better understanding of what it means to rough sleep but will work to raise awareness for the challenges that are faced by homeless and vulnerably housed individuals within our community, every day.

I would absolutely love if you would consider sponsoring me to take part in this fab event for a brilliant cause. For more information
