11,500 young people are in care or are known to the Birmingham Children’s Trust, sadly a significant number of these will not receive a gift this Christmas.

Birmingham City Foundation don't think that is right. We are therefore proud to be supporting some of the most vulnerable children in the City once again, as the Blue Nose Day Christmas gift campaign returns for the second year.

I will be joining the sponsored sleepout to try to do my part to help those in my home city who have so little. For just £5 we can buy a present that brings a smile to a face that needs more things to smile about.

Thank you for your support.
