The Liverpool Sleepout has raised thousands of pounds for the Whitechapel Centre over the years
Hundreds of people will bundle up in cosy coats and sleeping bags and hunker down for a night on the streets as they catch just a small glimpse into the lives of Liverpool's rough sleepers.
Whitechapel fund-raiser Toni-Marie Murphy-Roberts said: "It replicates what we are trying to stop. We are a homelessness and housing charity, and this gives people insight into how it feels to give up your bed for one night, and with that they raise money for the cause, raise awareness for the cause, and every penny goes to those who are sleeping rough on the streets for more than one night."You can only imagine how frightening it is, and that's where we interject.
"Merseyside Fire and Rescue service came out in the night to support us, and they brought blankets, hats, scarves, gloves and hot water bottles."
