Story
Simon on the Streets offers unlimited emotional and practical support for homeless and vulnerable people. All services provided are delivered on an outreach basis directly on the streets. They deliver this help during the day but also in the evening and in the early hours of the morning when many of the most vulnerable are struggling. They also look to support an individual to achieve their own goals and aspirations whatever they may be.
That is why for the fourth year running Team Weightmans has teamed up with the Leeds office charity of the year Simon on the Streets to help raise awareness and funds for those struggling with homelessness in West Yorkshire
Whilst the 'Sleep with Simon' event is normally an annual sleepout where participants take to the streets together overnight this year the challenge is to instead spend one night sleeping anywhere but you're own bed. As such, Team Weightmans will be choosing to spend it either on our sofas, floors and even tents in our garden. This act cannot replicate the horror faced by those forced to sleep rough every night, but it is designed to educate and raise awareness of the issue, as well as brining in much needed funds so that someone else may never be forced to.
Thank you for your support.
