Stephen Fletcher
Stephen is secretary for the charity vision4kids and, last year, he completed a 24 hour sit out in freezing temperatures to raise funds.
Given Covid-19 restrictions, Stephen had to make some changes to his plans this year.
“Due to the new lockdown restrictions, including the 8pm to 6am curfew, I will not be able to take up my position in Ballymoney Town centre. However, I will still spend 24 hours outside at home to not only adhere to government rules, but also to ensure the safety of the general public.
“Last year’s sit out was only successful due to the number of people who passed by to donate, stopped for a chat, and brought tea and biscuits for encouragement. It simply isn’t possible to replicate the same response this year or even have people visit me at my home due to the restrictions on the number of visitors even in the garden. I will post regular updates on the vision4kids Facebook page.
