Student Union President Raising Money for local Homelessness Charity Porchlight

Student Union President Sasha Langeveldt will be sleeping out this winter to raise money for a local homelessness charity. Can you help her?

On Saturday 19 October 2019 the Rotary Club of Canterbury Sunrise and Porchlight are inviting a group of local people and community leaders to take part in a one-night Sleep Out. 

Sasha says: “By taking part in this event, I hope to raise awareness and funds for Porchlight; a charity that supports and helps those who are and have suffered from homelessness. Porchlight provides many services from street outreach and supported accommodation to education and employment assistance which enables people to leave homelessness behind.

“Homelessness can happen to anyone, it can be an unexpected life changing experience that anyone can face today. For this reason, it is extremely important to do what we can to help all those who need a little more support. I have personally seen what this can do to a person’s life and I want to actively work towards challenging the stigma around homelessness.”
