Story


Hi 

I’m going to be doing a sleep out to try and increase awareness of the homeless and to raise funds for Wintercomfort. I completed part of my social work training at Wintercomfort - it is an amazing place and helps so many vulnerable men and women from the Cambridge area. Those who use Wintercomfort have often come from abusive childhoods, relationships or experienced  traumatic life events they have not been able to recover from. 

Their coping mechanisms tend to be the cruel and unforgiving misuse of drugs or alcohol. This is what is seen and focussed on. 

What is often unseen by the public is their emotional vulnerability, isolation, struggle to survive and also their brilliance. I have been amazed at the talent and skills regularly seen and encouraged at Wintercomfort. 

If you are able to donate I’d be very grateful.

Balls To Homelessness Sleepout - 7th February 2020! This sponsored Sleepout at The Abbey Stadium will raise funds for Wintercomfort a homeless charity based in Cambridge and Cambridge United Community Trust's preventative programmes working with young people Wintercomfort supports men and women who are homeless or vulnerably housed by offering them vital welfare services and opportunities for learning and training.Cambridge United Community Trust is the charitable arm of Cambridge United Football Club.
