#YMCASLEEPOUT2024 – Friday 25th October

On 25th October 2024 David Alexander, founder of Alexander Accountancy, will be taking part in the Xtreme version of the YMCA Burton sponsored sleepout helping to raise funds to provide housing for the homeless, food parcels for those struggling with the cost-of-living crisis, and mediation services for those who require mental health or welfare support.


The challenge entails spending the night in a cardboard box in the graveyard at St Modwen’s church in Burton-on-Trent. This simulates the conditions experienced by those that are genuinely homeless. There is no shelter, and in the darkness, we are reliably informed that the biggest challenge is not so much the ghosts and ghouls as the rats.

PLEASE CAN YOU HELP

If you believe taking part in this fundraiser is worthy of support, rather than a psychological
assessment, your sponsorship donations can be made online via David’s Just Giving Page which you can find by clicking the following link David’s Fundraiser for Burton YMCA or you can send your pledge direct to by emailing him da***@al*******************.uk

In the current economic climate, charities are finding it harder than ever. The economy is less affluent, and with wars in Europe and the Middle East adding to the challenges, more and more people are requiring help with housing and food, as well as support with mental health issues. Yet the same pressures are making it harder for the charities to raise funds as everyone’s finances become tighter.

For David, the challenge is made tougher than for most due to his age as a state pensioner and underlying health issues that include Acute Kidney Injury, Type 2 Diabetes, and having an Ileostomy.

Please give what you can no matter the size of your donation, as every penny counts.
