1 in 6 people in the UK will spend at least one night homeless. Arc are a local charitable organisation, supporting over 350 people each year. Arc's aim is provide a safe environment for anyone who becomes homeless, supporting and empowering their clients using a tailored approach, to give them the opportunity to start again and regain their independence. Arc know that, given the right help, even the most vulnerable in our society can recover from the issues that resulted in their homelessness. The Big Sleep Out is a way to try and begin to understand the difficulties that rough sleepers might face, but we know it is no where near the realities of homelessness. We hope that, by working together, we can ensure that no one has to spend a night sleeping rough and we can assist those facing homelessness to rebuild their lives. The funds raised at the sleep out will make a great difference to the support Arc can provide.
