A woman who is sleeping on the streets for 10 nights across the UK to highlight the issues facing vulnerable women is bedding down in Hull later.

Lianne Kirkman, from Scunthorpe, will spend her ninth night in the city and meet with two local organisations, before finishing in Blackpool on Monday.

Ms Kirkman, founder of The Esther Project, which supports women dealing with a range of issues, such as mental health, domestic abuse and addiction, is raising awareness about some of the challenges facing homeless women.

The Her Fight, Our Night Challenge has seen her also sleep out in Leamington Spa, Coventry, Birmingham, Bristol, Plymouth, Southampton, London and Doncaster.
