If you look on the website, you'll see there are so many ways to help, depending on what you can commit. This project is fantastic.

Don't think you will be allowed - health and safety and all that.

Pretty sure you can only donate shop bought food.

Did they? I didn't see that!

Nope we were there all night - bloody freezing it was! We raised £2000 nearly though so entirely worth it.

And for our next mission, we're going to find the builders who were working on fargate from 10-6am and run chainsaws and angle grinders constantly outside their windows whilst they're trying to sleep!

The students at City School raised funds and delivered 10 food hampers to the Archer Project just before Xmas this last year (2010).

Buddy I don't think it has anything to do with the "occupy" movement or any type of protest, but I think people get sponsored to do sleep outs. It raises money, and awareness.

Prince William has done it..
