Backups CEO, Director and team along with some fantastic supporters will be leaving the comfort of their beds to spend one night to raise awareness and funds to put a stop to children and young people sleeping rough.

I am always pleased to support this charity particularly when it's a ladies lunch or helping on their coffee van in the warm. The next event will absolutely challenge me. Sleeping outside in freezing November is a scary prospect for me. But I’m doing for one night; by choice.

I’m doing it to raise funds and awareness for the much needed work of this charity. To help young people who have been failed by those closest to them, and find themselves homeless.

The huge risks these teenagers face every night whilst sleeping rough cannot be underestimated. I hope some of my friends and family can support this effort by donating a few quid. Many thanks in advance.
