1st Twickenham sleeps rough

Date: 7th Mar 2022 Author: Peter Tomlin

1st Twickenham (All Hallows) Scout Group spent a night sleeping in cardboard boxes in the grounds of Twickenham Rifle Club to raise money for Only a Pavement Away (OAPA).

Established in 2018, OAPA works to connect employers in the hospitality industry with homelessness charities to help place people facing or experiencing homelessness into long term, stable employment. This was the Group’s fourth night out to raise awareness of homelessness.
