Story

Having something to look forward to at the weekend can be a salvation for some us. So why not do something a bit different with your weekend! Grab your camping gear, make a shelter or just sleep under the stars in your back garden, conservatory or even in your living room!

1625ip want to keep the momentum of our Sleep Out event (which last November raised just under £100,000) and invite you to Sleep Out at home.

We have an educational learning pack that mums and dads can do with their kids in the week leading up to your Sleep Out, which includes educational games, learning about homelessness and even a shelter building competition to keep your minds creative and maintain excitement.

Sleeping out in your garden is not the same, but it gives you a slight idea of what some young people go through every night.

So, get your marshmallows and hot chocolates ready for a night of even slightly understanding the harsh realities of some young people in the UK.

Set up your Just Giving page and let people know what you are up to whilst raising vital funds for our services.
