The Pioneering Care Partnership’s Chief Executive, Carol Gaskarth will be sleeping under the stars on Monday 30th April to raise awareness of people who are suffering from crippling poverty and those who don’t have a place to call home.
Carol said, “I’ve decided to sleep out for the night to highlight the issues of homelessness locally; far too many people sleeping rough isn’t a choice. I have the luxury of a nice home and a warm bed and I couldn’t imagine a life without these basic necessities. While sleeping out for this one night does not compare to the reality for those people who face it day in and day out, for me it will be a challenge to brave the elements – and I believe it is forecast to rain! If I can increase understanding and raise vital funds to support the work of Changing Lives and other charities fighting poverty through this experience then it will be very worthwhile.”
