The Giant Howarth Sleepout was launched in 2022, in collaboration with Huddersfield Giants Community Trust and Howarths Foundation.

The sleepout is an annual event in the calendar that looks to work with local businesses and the greater community of fans and supporters to create awareness, raise valuable funds, help improve lives, display positive feelings that will support the vulnerable, through the work of both Giants Community Trust and Howarths Foundation.

The event is held in October as the weather starts to turn and is designed to provide a powerful one-off experience and highlight the hardship that individuals who are homeless cope on a daily basis.

Both charities work tirelessly with limited resources to support projects into our communities in the respective fields, working in partnership on the Giant Howarth Sleepout, the ultimate goal is to support the greater needs of our community, supporting the vulnerable individuals in our community.
