Bella, Poppy and I will be sleeping rough for the night in our garden to raise money to help the YMCA tackle homelessness. 

Since 2010, the numbers of homeless people sleeping on our streets has more than doubled, and this doesn't take into account the hidden homeless - often young people who have been forced to leave home, who relying on friends sofas, are having to use temporary solutions to try and avoid ending up on the streets. The YMCA act as a safety net for these young people, providing them with safe, stable accommodation whilst working with them to make the transition to independence. 

We will be spending a chilly night sleeping outside to have a glimpse into the challenges homeless people face while raising money to help ensure a young person can have a safe place to sleep. 

Thank you for our donations as every pound really does help.
