Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

After four years of falls in the number of people sleeping rough since 2017 homelessness is on the rise again. Obviously this is unpleasant, difficult and dangerous at the best of times, but in the winter is much worse.

For several years now I have been part of a small group who have spent a night sleeping rough in early December in order to raise money for the Church Urban Fund, who use it for programmes designed to reduce homelessness (https://cuf.org.uk/what-we-do/homelessness)

It was felt by some, in previous years, that just a single night outside didn't adequately recreate the horrors facing those who sleep rough, so this year we are going to spend two consecutive nights and the intervening day outside in the churchyard.

I would be very grateful if you would consider supporting this important cause.
