SleepOut 2024

So far, my fundraising for the SleepOut 2024 could provide a safe space for a young person to sleep for:

0

Days

0

Months

On Thursday 7 March, I am taking part in the LandAid SleepOut to raise money to help support young people who are homeless.

In 2022/2023, nearly 136,000 young people approached their council as they were homeless or at risk of homelessness. 

The cost of living crisis has had an immense effect on all of us. This has been felt even more acutely by young people facing homelessness. Reports from the charities that LandAid support have mentioned that they're facing not only a homelessness crisis, but a mental health one too.

Young people facing homelessness need our support more than ever.

LandAid bring the property industry together to support charities delivering life-changing services for young people who are or have been homeless, or who are at risk of homelessness in the future.

Your donation will help ensure that young people are brought in from the cold this winter.

I'm taking part in the LandAid SleepOut 2024

Its just one night on the streets for me, a night that will be shared by friends and colleagues . A night that will be safe and one where I know I'll have the comfort of a proper home and bed to return to. 

Homelessness is devastating and for those that face the reality of this desperate reality, it  is truly a tragedy. Any contribution to this fundraiser, no matter how small, is received with a heartfelt thank you. Land Aid do incredible work to support young people facing homelessness and I hope that my one night of discomfort can be part of a movement to make a difference.
