## Resource

Richie Roncero, a recovering addict and founder of Steps To Hope, is launching an epic 6-month sleepout across 26 UK cities—sleeping rough with nothing but a sleeping bag and toothbrush—to raise £1 million for a new recovery facility and its first year of operations. With over 40 supporters, including former residents, already rallying behind him at a recent sleepout, the campaign has already smashed its £150K target. This isn’t just a personal quest—it’s a lifeline for thousands trapped in addiction and homelessness, as the current 10-bed facility is constantly full. Richie’s raw, real experience fuels his mission: to show the world what it’s like to survive on the streets—and why we must act now.
