My family will be taking part in YMCA's Sleep Easy event to raise money and raise awareness of youth homelessness in the Black Country.

We will receive two cardboard boxes to create a shelter for the night and spend 12 hours in a car park, to experience what it can be like for vulnerable young people who have nowhere else to go.

This will be the second year I rope my children and (reluctant) husband into it, it's sure to be a chilly night and all money raised goes towards helping the young people living at YMCA into a better future. Please donate what you can - it all helps!
