VOLUNTEERS had a taste of life on the streets when they took part in sponsored 12-hour sleep-out for charity.
A total of eight volunteers braved Saturday night's cold temperatures to raise money for Maggs, a Worcester-based day centre for the homeless.
"We were raising money to buy furniture for three sponsored-living flats which provide a bridge between homelessness and permanent accommodation," said Mel Kirk, the charity's volunteer
co-ordinator.
"We raised a total of £111 on the night which is great, because we now have a total of £761.
"It was a very cold night but at least it didn't rain," she said.
Miss Kirk said the charity, based in Deansway, is currently looking for volunteers to help out at the centre.
Anyone who would like to find out more about volunteering is asked to call 01905 25027.
