On Saturday December 8, four students from Arran High School – accompanied by English teacher Julia Harrison, art and design teacher Tilly Armstrong and AYF leader Graeme Johnston – got to experience first-hand sleeping rough in the name of charity.
Organised by Social Bite, Sleep in the Park was a nationwide event, taking place in Dundee, Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Glasgow, where the students spent their night. People who took part in the scheme would sleep outside without the use of tents or other makeshift shelters, so as to better understand what people in this condition would be going through.
