I have been inspired by the amazing work Nightsafe do and have decided to take part in the Big Sleepout.

Whilst I know I will be somewhere safe for the Sleepout, the fact that I will be sleeping out at night, in the cold (maybe wet), with 'strangers' fills me with dread.

I can't imagine what it must be like to sleep out on the streets each night especially when you're cold, wet, hungry and on top of that don't feel safe.

I am raising funds to support Nightsafe & Blackburn Rovers Community Trust, to help tackle youth homelessness and poverty.

I realise money is tight, so I’d love it if you would support me so long as it isn't stretching your budget. With your donation we can help get local youngsters off the streets and into safe accommodation.
