On Monday 27th November I will be joining up with individuals from across the city and region as we unite to fight homelessness.

We will be sleeping out for the night at Gloucestershire Cricket's Seat Unique Stadium, using the outdoor area at the front of the pavilion to replicate in some small way what thousands experience every day. For myself and the other participants it is a choice we have made to have this experience but for so many homelessness is an unavoidable part of their daily lives.

Homelessness is a growing issue in our community, and it feels particularly relevant to be taking this on at a time when we are hurtling towards Christmas and all the challenges that can bring to individuals across the country. I believe that we can make a difference by coming together and supporting those in need.

Any contribution, no matter how small, would be greatly appreciated. Your donation will go directly towards helping those less fortunate, and help me hit my £1000 target.
