Transcript

00:00Okay then Chris, so you're doing a charity sleep out for three nights around Wolverhampton.

00:05You're doing it for the Good Shepherd, aren't you?

00:08The Good Shepherd and the Wolves Foundation.

00:10Right, right. So you were actually homeless, weren't you, for six months, is that right?

00:14Yeah, I was an alcoholic and a drug user myself 14 years ago. I've been clean since.

00:22But I want to put all my support back into getting other homeless people off the streets.

00:27So what help do you think this will do?

00:31All the money that's raised will go to the Wolves Foundation, to go to the Good Shepherd.

00:36And then the Good Shepherd does a lot of work with the homeless.

00:40They get breakfast clubs, they feed them, they get support in getting rehabbed and stuff like that.

00:47So you've already done one night, haven't you, in Wolverhampton?

00:51Yeah, I've done one night last night. It was warm but it was a bit wet.

00:56Yeah, it must be the rain that's awful, really.

01:00Yeah, to be honest, we've not had much rain, which is thankful.

01:07Homeless people have to face it most of the time.

01:11And when you're wet and cold, it's even worse.

01:14Yeah, absolutely. And you're doing the modelling you sleep out tonight, is that right?

01:19Modelling you sleep out tomorrow night.

01:21So where are you tonight? You're back in Wolverhampton City Centre.

01:25I'll be round the city centre again for another night.

01:27Yeah, yeah. OK then, mate.

01:29Well, all the best anyway.

01:31Fingers crossed you'll raise a lot of awareness, do you?

01:34Thank you very much.
