MORE than 60 people are braving the cold tonight and sleeping rough in Grimsby for charity.

Cardboard shelters are being built within the grounds of Shoreline Housing Partnership in Osborne Street, as the third annual Sleep Easy event gets underway.

The event will last until 6am tomorrow and is in aid of Harbour Place, CARE, Doorstep and YMCA, organisations who try and raise awareness of homelessness.

Money raised through this event will be split between the four causes.
