Dundee gets a lot of bad publicity - believe my city has the highest suicide rate in the whole of the UK and also has drug problems. However, when I read something like this it lifts my spirits.
Nearly a quarter of a million pounds has been raised in Dundee ahead of the city’s first-ever Sleep in the Park event this weekend.
Slessor Gardens will be packed with 1,500 hardy souls on Saturday, all of whom will be spending a night under the stars to raise money for the homeless charity Social Bite.
The event will be held simultaneously in Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen, with a total of 12,000 participants sleeping rough for the evening.
