More than £14,000 was raised for the homeless during a sponsored sleep out.

A record 72 people took part in the sponsored event on Friday organised by the Threshold Housing Link.

They slept in the grounds of Immanual Church in Upham Road to experience what it is like to be without shelter for a night.

Among those forced to put up with a sharp frost was Evening Advertiser reporter Andy Blizzard. You can read his report in tomorrow's Adver.
