Collette's Sleep Easy 2016 To raise awareness and funding for the homeless for YMCA Cambridgeshire & Peterborough

Collette's Sleep Easy 2016 To raise awareness and funding for the homeless for YMCA Cambridgeshire & Peterborough


Collette Francis from Oakham spent the night sleeping rough.... again.... but this time through choice, 11 years ago when she was 17 was homeless, literally sleeping in doorways

She "lived" like this for nearly 2 years, she approached 7 different councils all around the country, not 1 would help me, not even when i was hospitalised for 2 weeks... and not for the first time for kidney infections from lack of access to water.

The only ones that helped me and many others were the charities out there, that have to fund raise to keep going.

It took her several days to pluck up the courage to do this again, it was freezing cold outside, but all over the country, all over the world the homeless are going unnoticed and ignored,  Collette needed to help by doing her bit.
