Hackney Night Shelter has been providing emergency shelter and routes out of homelessness for over 25 years. The number of homeless people has risen dramatically in recent years and continues to rise. Last year outreach teams across London met over 10,000 homeless people sleeping rough. Hackney Night Shelter currently provides 26 bed spaces per night and in the past six months have helped over 30 people to move into their own accommodation.

I am sleeping out for one night to raise vital funds so that Hackney Night Shelter can carry on the work that they do.
