Daintry's Sleep Out

1 in 5 People are only one pay cheque away from being homeless.

Homelessness is something we see in every city across the UK, with the cost-of-living crisis increasing it is estimated that around 227,000 people were experiencing the worst forms of homelessness – rough sleeping, sleeping in vans and sheds, and stuck in B&Bs – across England, Scotland and Wales in 2021.

That figure is projected to rise beyond 300,000 households on any given night in 2023, fortunately there are some Charities who support the people who find themselves in these positions and work on helping them get a better life.

I’ve always been a believer that if you can help people, you should, I’ve shared this principle with my children who this year said that they wanted to support the white chapel in raising money to help the homeless. I’ve supported this whole heartedly and encouraged them to make a difference.

So we have agreed to sleep rough in Liverpool cathedral on the 14th April in support of the Whitechapel (our 2nd time), we will be making our own cardboard home along with beds for the evening and settling in to gain some perspective of the struggles some homeless people have..(all in a kid safe environment).

We would love your support in sponsoring our sleep out as we hope to raise as much money as possible.
