Now I’ve signed up for this challenge, It really did make me think...
I am proud to say I’ll be taking part in the Norwich Sleep Out 2015 .
“Why? Are you bonkers?!” I hear you ask.
The Benjamin Foundation do an absolutely outstanding job. In my opinion, not enough people (especially in Norfolk) appreciate this! Helping around 2,000 people each year across the county, they’re diverse in what they do – helping homeless young adults, providing holiday clubs and nursery facilities for young children and working in over 80 schools to support pupils and their parents where relationships need rebuilding.
These are issues that not only need making right, but everyone should be more aware of. By taking part in the Norwich Sleep Out 2015, I hope that we can raise as much awareness as possible, as well as much needed donations for The Benjamin Foundation.
I went for an evening stroll last night - it was fairly nippy and it’s only the beginning of October. Goodness knows what it will be like come November 12th! Luckily for us, we’re taking on the sleep out together.
Now I’ve signed up for this challenge, It really did make me think. Imagine being out in the cold, at night, on your own, with no where to go... take a moment and try and picture yourself there. It’s so vitally important that we try and do as much as we can to help the people in that situation, more often than not, it’s not even their own fault.
Do something! Here’s how you can make a difference - click here to take on the Norwich Sleep Out 2015 (please bare in mind I am an absolute wimp, so there’s not many excuses!)
If you’re not brave enough, please do donate to The Benjamin Foundation. You can do this via my online fundraising page here.
The third step to help is to spread the word! This is important too - please head on to The Benjamin Foundation Twitter page (@TBFNorfolk) and ReTweet messages about the Norwich Sleep Out 2015. Also, share this blog on LinkedIn!
Thank you for your support for The Benjamin Foundation and wish us luck!
we will huddle :)
