Please don’t forget to try to raise as much sponsorship money as possible, and awareness of the issues of homelessness and the work of Winchester Churches Nightshelter and Trinity Winchester, in these weeks before the Big Sleep Out. Tell all your friends and see if they'd like to join in too.
Very many thanks .
