Maggie Throup, Member of Parliament for Erewash recently experienced what it is like to be homeless in a very small way when she took part in this year’s Canaan Trust’s Sleep Out. As one of her first visits as Member of Parliament, Maggie presented the homeless charity with a cheque for £125.00 collected as her sponsorship.
Maggie said: “This year was my second year of sleeping out for the Canaan Trust so I was more prepared for the hard pavements and the drop in temperature as the night went on.
“The Canaan Trust plays a vital role in our community in helping homeless men with much more than just a roof over their heads and I was delighted to support them in this small way.”
