We (Ken Gordon and Zeb Ahmed) signed up to sleep outside on Sat 9th December in Edinburgh along with a lot of other people to raise money for SocialBite to help eradicate homelessness in Scotland. Details of how to join us and sponsor us are at the bottom of this page.
We are making a series of podcasts about our experience to help get sponsors and to raise awareness for the event.
In this episode, we just purchased sleeping bags and mats and found a cafe to sit and gather our thoughts, talk about sponsorship so far (not good) and the fact that we need advice.
Are you Sleeping the Park and have advice and a story to share? Get in touch using the contact box on this page or through our twitter accounts https://twitter.com/glencharnoch and https://twitter.com/zebunsia
