I would very much appreciate your help to raise money in support of Emmaus Homeless charity, which assists homeless people by giving them temporary jobs, providing training and enabling them to get back on their feet and reclaim a sense of pride.

There are many reasons why someone might end up homeless, and in a busy city it is easy to walk past someone sitting in a sleeping bag on the pavement. I am sure you are all able to imagine what a life like this might be like. So I am kindly asking you to assist me in supporting Emmaus. My year and I will only be sleeping out for one night; many people have to endure years of this.

Thank you for your donation, Ben Abbott
