Catching Lives Sleep Out!

Congrats William! 

Just this weekend gone, our designer William slept out in Canterbury to help support the local charity Catching Lives and Porchlight. By sleeping rough, and through building his shelter, William helped raise over £700 so far, which you can donate to here. It is a wonderful cause, which helps to support and raise awareness of the plight of homelessness, which affects so many in our local community.

William managed to survive the rain and cold, despite his shelter collapsing, but the important thing is that this was only a fraction of what homelessness puts people through daily. Please, donate if you can, as it is a very serious issue, and Catching Lives and Porchlight are both wonderful charities, and any amount will surely help.

Herringbone Kitchens is fundraising to support local homelessness charities Catching Lives and Porchlight. Come rain or shine (most probably rain), today on the 17th September, our Designer William will be 'sleeping rough' on the grounds of Canterbury Cathedral with other Canterbury business owners to raise money and awareness about homelessness. You can sponser William and read more about his story by going to Just Giving and searching for William Durrant If you want to come say hello and show William your support, the grounds are open from 5PM- 9PM. There will be prizes for sturdiest and best looking shelter, as well as speeches and events to raise awareness about homelessness. Thank you again to everyone for your support, so far we have raised almost £400! #Canterbury #homelessness #charity #fundraising #kentlife #kent

So my shelter was not the best and collapsed in the night. It got what they all fear in the Great British Bake Off "it got a soggy bottom" Thank you to everyone who supported us! #herringbonekitchens #canterbury #cathedral @catchinglives @porchlightcharity #endinghomelessness
