Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'll be sleeping rough this year with a difference!  The Big Sleep is happening but instead of sleeping in the cloisters of Salisbury Cathedral, this year I'll be sacrificing the warmth and comfort of my bed at home for another location in my house.

The problem is I don't get to decide; pupils at my school are voting on where I should sleep! They can choose from;

Bath tub

In a tent in the garden

The kitchen floor

In a cupboard under the stairs (it is World Book Day week afterall)!

If you are in a position to donate, please do! Money raised will make a big difference to those who, every night, have to choose their own undesirable place to sleep.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
