Story

SleepOut, Raise Money and Save Lives with Turning Tides this August!

This August is bringing a fantastic Big Summer SleepOut to raise money to support local homeless men and women. This exciting event will take place on Saturday 8th August it is open to everyone and completely free to join in.

Working across West Sussex, homeless charity Turning Tides, is inviting anyone and everyone to join with them for the ultimate summer adventure and help raise funds to support some of this areas most vulnerable people.

Give up your bed for one night and choose an alternative location to sleep. In your garden under the stars, in a specially built den, in the loft or in the bath! It doesn't matter. By sleeping out somewhere new you will help to raise awareness and raise money for homeless men and women who really need our support.

Why not rope in as many friends and family as you can and have a safe, socially distanced SleepOut that makes a massive social difference.

There is a best dressed den competition and an online activity programme packed with fun and entertainment.

For most of us, our bed is a safe and warm place. However, many people in our community do not have a bed of their own; they might be sleeping rough, living in unsuitable accommodation, living in their car or sofa surfing. The toll this takes on a person both physically and mentally is extreme as homeless men and women die on average 30 years sooner than the general population.

Join us in taking a stand against homelessness by sleeping in your garden or inside your home and raise money for Turning Tides homeless charity.

Don't miss out make memories and make a difference
