Jim Carter backs Sleep Out (or in) 2020

27 July 2020

Jim Carter, the actor best known for playing Mr Carson in Downton Abbey, is supporting this year's Sleep Out (or in) to raise funds for people facing homelessness.

Jim says:

I cannot imagine going through this pandemic without a home.

He continues:

"Glass Door has been there for people facing homelessness since the beginning of this crisis. Now they are doing everything in their power to find people permanent homes when lockdown lifts."

Please join the Glass Door Sleep Out (or In) on 2 October so that more people experiencing homelessness can find a route off the streets.

"I'm looking forward to getting involved. I'll be reading a bed-time story to participants, which you'll be able to access remotely from wherever you choose to take part."
