Fine & Country Solihull Office - Sleep Out for the Homeless

Leigh Foley is raising money for Fine & Country Foundation

Story

Leigh Foley, Rachel Hyde, Martin Grant and Lawrence Wade from Fine and Country's Office in Solihull will be sleeping rough on Friday 24th November in aid of St Basils Big Birmingham Sleep Out 2017.

The donations will be going to End Youth Homelessness (EYH), Fine and Country Foundations National Partner which is formed of nine homelessness charities across the Country. St Basils covers the West Midlands region and is hosting a Sleep Out for the campaign. The Foundation focus their efforts on EYH's Safe Nights Fund. £25 pays for a young homeless person to have a warm and safe place to sleep for one night. With this, they are put on record so that they cannot be forgotten about. Additionally, they are given mental and physical health checks, education and work support and round-the -clock care. It is the first step towards helping a young person get off the streets for good.

The weather is already turning nasty and the temperature has started to drop. Many of us have the luxury of a roof over our heads, food on the table, central heating, hot water and a safe, warm comfy bed to go home to at the end of every day. Please help us to help the homeless find temporary or permanent accommodation especially through the tough winter months ahead.

The Fine & Country Foundation has been created to help combat one of the largest social issues in the UK – homelessness. Last year, the Government estimated around 2,414 people sleep on the street on any one night across England, a rise of 36% over three years. Often the reasons for homelessness are misunderstood, with many blaming the individuals for poor life decisions and carelessness. The reality is: people become homeless for a whole range of complex and overlapping reasons that cannot be avoided, such as family breakdowns, mental or physical health problems or debts. Solving homelessness does not only involve putting a roof over people’s heads, it is also trying to tackle the root of the problem and asking the question: why did they became homeless in the first place? The Fine & Country Foundation is dedicated to bringing together all Fine & Country agents in over 300 locations worldwide to raise awareness of the causes of homelessness whilst supporting homeless charities.
