Story
Stand up against homelessness by challenging yourself, friends, family and colleagues to sleep out for one night and help raise vital funds and awareness for those forced to do so every night. The Big Exeter Sleep-Out is one of our most important events in the calendar and holds a special place in many peoples hearts. Over the years weve welcomed hundreds of people to various Julian House Big Sleep-Out events, all ditching their beds in unison for one night to raise vital funds and to make an incredible difference to those forced to sleep out every night.
Giving up just one night really could transform the lives of others.
No one is under any illusion that spending one night under the stars could possibly replicate what it is like to be homeless and on the streets. After the Big Exeter Sleep-Out you can go home, have a warm bath, have a nice breakfast and chat to family or friends about your experience, perhaps even go back to bed to catch up on the sleep you lost the night before. By being sponsored to sleep out for just one night you will be helping others who dont have the luxury of their own home to return to.
We do not charge an entry fee but hope that you will try and raise at least £100 so that we can continue to provide vital support to homeless and marginalised men and women in and around Exeter and across Devon. You will be amazed at how many people will be willing to sponsor you.
