Local charity, YMCA East Surrey held it’s sixth annual SleepEasy fundraising event on Saturday night at the Merstham Community Hub. 

Forty two people volunteered to sleep rough for one night to raise money and awareness for young local people who find themselves homeless.  YMCA East Surrey runs Hillbrook House in Redhill which provides safe and affordable accommodation and support for young people in housing need. Money raised will help get young homeless people back on their feet and sustain employment. The event is also designed to raise awareness of what some vulnerable members of society have to endure.  

So far over £10,000 has been raised from this year’s SleepEasy event.
