What a wonderful fundraising night we had last Friday 28th November at The Corn Exchange, Stamford.
Homelessness is something I feel very passionately about and is close to my heart. Stepping over people in sleeping bags and boxes on a cold December night 3 years ago after coming out of The Savoy Theatre really hit home to me how real this problem is.
I have been supporting homeless charities for a number of years but doing that from my own armchair did make the situation less apparent until I was standing in the middle of it. The two extremes of circumstance in those few yards I will never forget.
On this particular evening myself and two good friends and fellow Mediums Jay Love and Alan Carter gave a demonstration of mediumship and will post how much was raised by the sheer generosity of those who came (and those who could not attend but sent donations)when we have the final figures.
Big thanks to both Guys who travelled a long way to be with us and especially Al who stood in at the last moment when our other friend and Medium Keith Behan had to turn back due to poor weather.
Thanks for trying Keith, your support was so much appreciated.I know you were as disappointed as we were.
Next time you see a 'Big Issue' vendor in the street, make a beeline for them, dig deep and buy as many as you can afford then tuck it where other people can see that you've bought one/some and they'll want theirs too!! Please do all you can to bring something positive to those who need our support not just on the coldest nights of the year, but all year round xx
