Volunteers sleep rough to help the homeless

Forty volunteers will be sleeping rough in Wolverhampton tonight to raise money for young homeless people.

They are taking part in a national campaign by the YMCA called Sleep Easy which has seen politicians, celebrities and ordinary people sleeping under the stars to raise money and awareness about youth homelessness.

Previous participants have included local celebrity Dave Heeley from West Bromwich who became the first blind person to complete seven marathons in seven continents in seven days.
