SLEEP IN THE PARK – a mass sleep-out to end homelessness in Scotland. For Good. Saturday 9th December.
Social Bite, a proactive charity working around Scotland with and for homeless people, is organising the world’s largest ever sleep-out and is hoping to attract 9,000 people to Edinburgh’s Princes Street Gardens. The charity hopes that by raising funds and working together, the people of Scotland will create such an impetus that homelessness will be eradicated over a 5 year period. The aim is not only to find provision for housing, but also to provide rehabilitation; job opportunities and support that will help people get back on their feet and find their place within society. John Cleese, Deacon Blue, Rob Brydon, Sir Bob Geldof, Liam Gallagher and Amy Macdonald will be present on the night. You might not be able to take part yourself, but you might know someone in your Church or workplace, a child or grandchild, a student friend who might be able to get involved individually or as a group. The challenge is for each individual to raise a minimum of £100 towards the cause. 2,000 people have already signed up. Find out more at www.SleepInThePark.co.uk or register at www.SleepInThePark.co.uk/register. Anyone from Greenbank who is interested in taking part in the sleep out should come to a meeting in Room A on Monday 16th October at 7.30pm.
