On 4th April 2025 I'll be sleeping on the cobbles of St Johns Square in Blackpool Town Centre to raise awareness about youth homelessness and much needed funds to support small charity, Streetlife.

Last year Streetlife supported over 300 vulnerable, and often homesless young people via their 8 bed emergency night shelter and welcoming day centre.

Over the last 2 years average occupancy at the night shelter has risen significantly, proving that this lifeline is still very much needed.

They run the only emergency night shelter in Blackpool for young people aged 16-25 who may find themselves with nowhere safe to sleep.

Whilst giving up my bed for one night will only be a small glimpse into the trauma of homelessness, I'm hoping that my efforts in braving the typical Blackpool weather will raise money to ensure a young person in need doesn't have to do the same.

Please do contribute if you can, even if it's a pound. Every penny goes straight to Streetlife who'll be able to keep up their great work in Blackpool.

Cheers,

Joel
