Let's support him on this incredible journey. Norton House stands proudly opposite Swanswell Pool in Coventry, its exterior inviting all those seeking solace and community. It serves as a beacon of hope for those facing adversity. The Coventry Cathedral Cyrenian Sleep Out gathers crowds each year for an unforgettable night under the stars. Fred Nash from Tile Hill kickstarts this event with unwavering enthusiasm, reminding us that compassion knows no bounds. Inside Norton House, scenes unfold where individuals find solace through literature or engage in friendly matches of pool or table tennis. These activities foster connections that go beyond words – they create bonds that heal hearts. During the 4th annual Coventry Cathedral Cyrenian Sleep Out, Kathleen Bouton Sparkes aged 76 joins fellow participants in their quest to raise awareness about homelessness and provide support for those most vulnerable among us. As we reflect upon Crucifixion Kruisberg figures depicting various episodes of Christ's journey carrying the cross on his shoulders by Jan Luyken and Pieter Mortier (1703-1762), we are reminded of the weight some bear daily. Through acts of kindness like these events at Norton House and Coventry Cathedral Cyrenian Sleep Out, we can alleviate burdens together. "
