So far, my fundraising for the SleepOut 2024 could provide a safe space for a young person to sleep for:
I'm taking part in the LandAid SleepOut 2024
Why am I doing this?
It's a question I have asked myself since I agreed to do it.
No young person should experience homelessness. Nor should any young person have to worry about finding a safe place to sleep. We all agree with that, yes?
But, that is a reality for many young people. Yes, even in places like Cambridge.
Romsey Mill and Concrete Rose are alongside many young people who are most at risk of homelessness, or are already homeless, in Cambridge and the surrounding area.
My sleepout with LandAid will not be comparable with the experience of any young person who has nowhere safe to sleep.
I am doing it for one night only. I will be with friends. I will not be afraid. I will be fed in the morning. I know that I will be safe.
Why am I doing this?
In truth, because a friend asked me to do it. Simple as that.
But, I do hope to learn something about the threat and reality of homelessness for young people; and I invite you to partner with me to help prevent it becoming a reality for them.
If you are able to make a donation, that would be fantastic.
You would not be supporting me in anything that I have chosen to do; however, you will be helping to prevent the fear or experience of homelessness becoming a reality for young people who have no choice.
That is as good a reason as any to be doing something like this!
Thank you.
Neil
