Homeless charity Centrepoint has announced a campaign partnership with Evening Standard for its 2016 Christmas fundraising appeal.

The campaign, which will run from November 21 to February 2017, will fund the launch of the Centrepoint Helpline, a new service for 16-25 year olds at risk of homelessness. To show their support, city bosses and celebrities including actress and fashion designer Sadie Frost, Lady Lady Kitty Spencer, Colin Salmon, Lisa Maxwell, and Alex Gregory, will sleep rough for one night. Centrepoint ambassador and BBC Radio 2 DJ Sara Cox commented 'It's a really important event to bring people together raise the issues about homelessness. It will never replicate homelessness, but even the glimpse that we get enforces how difficult the situation is that people find themselves in'.
