Thousands to take part in global sleep out event
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-50687599<snip>
The World's Big Sleep Out event, spanning 52 countries, will see more than 50,000 people sleeping out all over the world.
Organiser Josh Littlejohn said the event would be the biggest achievement in his lifetime.
Mr Littlejohn started the Sleep Out event in Edinburgh four years ago with 270 people in Charlotte Square.
After three Big Sleep Outs in Scotland, this year the event has gone global - from Times Square in New York to the central park in New Delhi.
The aim is to raise millions of pounds for homeless and refugee causes and to increase pressure on governments to take action to help an estimated 100 million people globally who do not have a home.
