Sleep in the Park
Anne Gall and Morag MacLeod see the impact of homelessness first hand every day through their work in the Housing Advice and Homeless Service. They wanted to help raise cash to ensure everyone in Scotland has a roof over their heads to call their own, even if it meant spending a night outside their own homes. The pair joined around eight thousand people to brave the cold to bed down in the world’s biggest sleep out in Edinburgh’s Prince’s Street Gardens on December 9th. Organised by Social Bite, the Sleep in the Park event raised almost £4M to help homeless people.
£927
Raised by Anne and Morag. They want to thank the generous colleagues who sponsored them.
“It was very cold and difficult to get to sleep but it gave me an awareness of what it must be like for people—especially women—to sleep rough for a period of time and how vulnerable they must feel on the streets. But we got to go back to our warm beds the next night.” Morag
