My Story

I'm joining compassionate people from across Sheffield for an unforgettable night beneath the stars. I will be sleeping out in Sheffield Olympic Legacy Park, raising funds for people facing adverse poverty and homelessness in the Sheffield area.

This cause is close to my heart because I have supported people at risk of homelessness in different contexts. I worked for NOMAD as a tenancy support worker for 7 years before I started Sheffield Central Counselling in 2008. Prior to this I also worked briefly for Roundabout in their hostel for young adults. I also volunteered with ASSIST, offering temporary accomodation to asylum seekers. I also regularly donate to the Archer Project. 

Those who know me will know that I'm not great at physical challenges, I'm not a runner, I can't ride a bike, I can't swim a long distance but I CAN lie down ! This is my kinda challenge! But I don't like being cold at night and I probably won't get any sleep! Please sponsor me to experience discomfort for one night in solidarity with those who have no choice. 

Thank you for your support and generosity.
