Fundraising inspiration

Last year Valerie Allen gave up her bed and camped out in her garden for 40 nights of lent.

Valerie camped out in all conditions including snow – raising over £2000 for those in need.

Valerie shares: “I made the decision to sleep in a tent for 40 nights when the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria happened and could not begin to imagine how it might feel to lose your home and even loved ones in a matter of minutes, so Tent for Lent was a challenge I felt I had to do.” – Valerie Allen
