Homelessness and rough sleeping don’t just affect big cities. We also have these scourges here today in Powys. They can come about through changes in personal circumstances or on a massive scale through a disaster.
Since Christmas, Newtown Rotary Club has been planning an event to raise awareness of homelessness at home and abroad. We want to raise funds to support organisations that assist people who become homeless or that work to divert people away from a path that leads to homelessness.
We have gathered together 30 volunteers who are willing to spend a night sleeping in a cardboard box and who will bring sponsorship with them.
Funds raised will be split between local and international organisations.
We are so pleased to be supported in this by NPTC Group who are allowing us to use the Newtown College campus for our venue.
If you would like to support us through this event why not sponsor one of the volunteers or alternatively you could contribute directly through our JustGiving campaign.
