Story

🌍✨ Sleep Out on World Homeless Day ✨🌍

On World Homeless Day, we’re giving up our beds for one night — so that young people don’t have to face homelessness every night.

Every year, hundreds of young people in our community are forced into unsafe situations: sleeping on sofas, in temporary shelters, or even on the streets. It’s lonely. It’s frightening. And it should never happen.

The BACKUP Sleepout isn’t about pretending to be homeless. It’s about showing solidarity, raising awareness, and standing together to say: youth homelessness must end.

By spending one night under the stars, we’re raising vital funds so BACKUP can provide:

🏠 Safe, supported accommodation

💚 A place of sanctuary and belonging

🌱 The chance for young people to rebuild their lives, with brighter, safer futures ahead

Your support makes this possible. Every donation, big or small, helps change a young person’s story from one of fear and uncertainty to one of hope, safety, and independence.

Together, we can make sure no young person has to face homelessness alone.
