Hundreds tackle homelessness by camping out in Dundee city centre
Hundreds of people camped out in Dundee city centre as part of a mass sleep-out aimed at ending homelessness.
The Sleep in the Park event – which also took place in Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Glasgow – saw performances from Kyle Falconer, KT Tunstall, Amy Macdonald and others.
A huge well done to some of our @dct_media & @DC_Thomson staff who braved the freezing conditions last night for #SleepInThePark, raising awareness & money to end homelessness 🥶😴 Hope you all stayed relatively cosy during a very cold night in #Dundee! pic.twitter.com/f78sL3L0PP

“It’s fantastic that we’re showing solidarity tonight and we do see them, and we do want to help. Thank you for being involved. I’m so proud to be part of Social Bite tonight.”
The cash will go towards tackling homelessness through housing projects and employment programmes, and supporting those on the streets with shelters and hot food and drink.
