Surviving The Big Sleep Out
As an update to our previous post, we wanted to send a huge thank you to everyone who sponsored our team for the Julian House Big Bath Sleep Out.
Last Friday, Graham, Sammy, Jean, Rebecca, David, Amy and Sarah joined one hundred other people in a dark, damp park in Bath city centre to sleep rough for the night. Our aim was to raise £100 each to support the vital work Julian House carry out with the homeless people of Bath.
Although we came well prepared with warm coats, furry hats, plastic sheeting and sleeping bags, the team slept fitfully and woke up rather stiff, cold and damp (or didn’t sleep at all in some cases).
Although the evening was planned and, dare I say a little fun, there were certainly moments during the night when each of us reflected on the real reason we were out in the cold. As we went home for hot showers, hot food and a good kip in comfort there were many people still out in the cold and wet weather facing yet another night of fear, cold and hopelessness.
That’s why the work that Julian House does is so important and why we are so grateful for all the sponsorship and donations from all of our friends, family, clients and suppliers. Money is still pouring in but we expect to have raised over £2200!
We're keeping our Just Giving page open for further week, so please do take a look and feel free to push our donation figure up further.
