Veteran from Hinderwell, near Whitby, sleeping on streets in fundraiser for ex-service personnel

Bryan Carter, an ex-Army Commando and Para, has taken to the sleeping out on the street for the cause and, thanks mainly to the people of Hinderwell and the surrounding area, he has raised £700.

Mr Carter said: “So far I have completed four sleep outs – two bus shelters and one in the wilds, and another.

"As I have probably exhausted the goodwill of the local people despite the Badger Hounds in Hinderwell supporting me with donation boxes, I am looking to get to the £700 mark and with a lot of luck, £750.

"Currently, at the last count, the RBLI had raised over £750,000 to help build new accommodation and more emergency shelters for the 340 residents currently in care.”
