Carol Underwood braves the cold for charity
Ever wondered what it was like to be homeless? Well Carol Underwood, Head of Supported Housing at Spire Homes found out on the 5th February whilst taking part at one of the YMCA’s Sleep Easy events at St Giles Church, Northampton.
Hundreds of people participated and the event is expected to raise nearly £10,000. These funds are vital for the YMCA’s work with young homeless people and Carol contributed almost £300 to help.
“It was cold, wet and my box wasn’t the most
comfortable, but it gave me a real insight into what these young
people have to go through every day” said Carol, “It
makes you realise what you take for granted. This is a fantastic
cause and I would like to thank everybody who has sponsored
me.”
