Libby’s story
On Friday 3rd of December, my daughter Hannah, and I will be taking part in Threshold's Big SleepOut!
I won't lie - we're both nervous about it. But this is just one night, and we'll be surrounded by friends and supporters of the charity and have the luxury of a freshly cooked breakfast when we wake up (assuming we get any sleep!).
There are people sleeping rough on the streets of Swindon EVERY night. I think the least we can do to support them is to have one night in their shoes. I would encourage you to come and join - this is an event supported by all generations and it should be a memorable one.
If you can't join us (or don't want to, and who can blame you - it's going to be hard), please try to support us by donating. Every penny counts. When you donate through Wonderful, 100% of your donation goes straight to Threshold, after which, the gift aid is reclaimed. This means no admin fees, meaning more money goes straight to where it's needed. Every penny is used to try and make the biggest difference possible.
The team at Threshold are fabulous - they consistently go the extra mile. Despite it being a tough job, I never hear them complain! By supporting the charity, you are helping them to give people a second chance. Don't forget, they say you are only two pay packets from the streets.
If we don't help them......who will?
