Portia Sleeps Out for APAP

APAP are an excellent charity working to end poverty and homelessness in North London. Earlier this year I had the chance to see the Haringey Winter Shelter in action as a volunteer, and was blown away by how supportive and welcoming the atmosphere was. I'm participating in the Big Sponsored SleepOut to raise awareness of homelessnes, which is often a hidden issue, and raise money for APAP to continue their work in Haringey, and expand into Enfield.

You can find out more about APAP's work on their website (allpeopleallplaces.org.uk/), including a firsthand account from one of last year's guests about their experience of homelessness.
