FUNDRAISERS will spend the night sleeping rough for charity.

On Saturday, May 16, Southend YMCA will be holding their youth homelessness fundraiser, Sleep Easy.

Participants are invited to take on the challenge of sleeping out overnight in a cardboard box to raise funds for disadvantaged young people at risk of homelessness.

The main event will be held at the Newlands site, in Ambleside Drive, and will include entertainment, music, refreshments throughout the night and a hot breakfast in the morning.

Entry £10. To sign up, visit southendymca.org.uk/ sleepeasy2015 or call Tom Moulton on 01702 301301.
