AN veteran’s support group is set to raise funds for a charity by sleeping under the stars.

Members of the North Essex Veterans Support Group will take part in the Great Tommy Sleep Out to raise money for the Royal British Legion Industries charity.

The sleep out is a fundraising challenge designed to support the more than 6,000 veterans experiencing homelessness in the UK.

Fundraising will take place throughout March and the North Essex Veterans Support Group will be sleeping out on Saturday, March 11.
