You may remember that a number of our enthusiastic Sixth Form students braved the cold weather last year and took part in the ‘Sleep Easy’ campaign, where they slept in a cardboard box overnight. Their aim was to raise money to help in changing the lives of young homeless people in the Black Country.

Well this year they are doing it again but hope to raise even more funds!

On Wednesday 20th January, Beverley and her colleague from the YMCA came into school to do a talk to our Year 12 & 13 students to encourage them to take part in the campaign.

They spoke of how the YMCA makes such a huge difference to young homeless people’s lives and how being homeless can happen to absolutely anyone.

She also told students that Theo Johnson, who is a young upcoming actor from Birmingham will be coming along to St Edmund’s on the night to join in with the community spirit!

Theo has starred in a number of programmes including; Channel 4 Raised by Wolves, BBC Doctors, Crimewatch and has also had a music career.
So if you are in Years 12 or 13 and would like to get involved then speak to Tyrell Bajoma or Christina Montana in the Sixth Form.

St Edmund’s Sleep Easy will be taking place on 11th March
6am-6pm in the Academy courtyard.
Come and join us!
