In February I will be sleeping rough for 2 nights, 1 February 2025
We raise awareness and funds to combat the causes of homelessness

Story

This will be the tenth consecutive year that I have slept rough in Leamington Spa to raise money for the Fine & Country Foundation. A charity that helps combat the causes of homelessness. All of the money raised goes to local charities via a grant. This year I will be directing the money to both Helping Hands and also the Esther Project. The reason I keep coming back is the overwhelming support that I get from people with the generous donations that they give. Every penny counts. The first sleep out is on 1st February and the second is on the 7th February. In the last 10 years we have managed to raise over £1,000,000. I have met people where they have genuinely turned their lives around. They battled through addiction and are now settled with careers and at peace. More importantly they have homes and families. Everyone deserves a place to call home.

About the charity

The Fine & Country Foundation has been created to help combat one of the largest social issues in the UK – homelessness. Last year, the Government estimated around 2,414 people sleep on the street on any one night across England, a rise of 36% over three years. Often the reasons for homelessness are misunderstood, with many blaming the individuals for poor life decisions and carelessness. The reality is: people become homeless for a whole range of complex and overlapping reasons that cannot be avoided, such as family breakdowns, mental or physical health problems or debts. Solving homelessness does not only involve putting a roof over people’s heads, it is also trying to tackle the root of the problem and asking the question: why did they became homeless in the first place? The Fine & Country Foundation is dedicated to bringing together all Fine & Country agents in over 300 locations worldwide to raise awareness of the causes of homelessness whilst supporting homeless charities.
