So about two weeks ago my friend posted that he was participating in an event for a great charity. After checking what the event was about I immediately wanted to be a part of such a great cause! So on November 12th not just myself but my lovely team members above (called the GameChangers) will be taking part in the sleep out event for Centrepoint charity.
This means we will be spending the night on the street from 7pm-7am experiencing what thousands of homeless young people experience every night.
If you’re wondering why? There are young people running away from home for many reasons. Some are experiencing different types of abuse within their household, some are being kicked out by their troubled parents who have drug addictions, escaping street crime, mental health issues etc so the only option for them is to run away to escape but sadly they’re ending up on the streets.
CentrePoint homeless charity has a much broader approach to tackling youth homelessness. They look at the root causes of homelessness and ensure that everything they do makes a real and lasting difference to young people – whether that’s helping them to find a home, supporting them into education, teaching them basic life skills or ensuring they have the opportunity to find work.
Ive been wanting to give back to those less fortunate than myself for sometime. I know I have complained about some issues I face in my life, but understand that I am fully aware how blessed I am to have supportive family, friends and a roof over my head! Many are not as fortunate to have things we take for granted everyday!
I will be documenting my experience on the 12th of November but before that day arrives I need to raise a minimum of £350. It would be so amazing if you can please help by sponsoring myself and my team to raise money to get these young people off the streets and get the help they need via CentrePoint. Please share/ spread the word! ✌🏾️ All donations are gratefully received no matter how big or small

This sounds like a good cause but how come you can’t just withdraw the $350 from your bank account? Will you do that if you don’t raise the funds in time? I had to ask. I always see celebrities trying to solicit funds from the public when they have it themselves.
I’m not a celebrity trying to solicit funds from the public. I’m just a hard working individual who wanted to be a part of a great cause and the main idea of the event is sponsorship and awareness so by sharing/ broadcasting this post its meant to encourage those in a fortunate position to help those in need. All funds go straight to the charity so I am not receiving anything from it. I actually had to pay a fee to participate this event
That (celebrity comparison) was an example to drive my point. I know you’re not one. I was just wondering did the success of the event depend upon sponsorship.
