DSU Sleepout 3 A group of DSU volunteers did something unforgettable when they spent the night outside the campus centre building. They were raising awareness of homelessness and in particular local charity Action Homeless. Every participant was sponsored to take part and on the night they collected lots of donations from passers by. The volunteers look set to raise well over £1000 for Action Homeless!
