Porchlight was originally founded to help people facing the devastating effects of homelessness, but today we also tackle the causes and consequences of poverty, inequality and poor mental health.

This World Homelessness Day on October 10th, we are joining with Schools, community groups, businesses and individuals across Kent who will be sleeping outside in a tent or makeshift shelter on the same night in our own separate locations to help us raise valuable funds to support some of the most vulnerable people in our communities.

Many of our supporters will be familiar with the sponsored sleep out event – it is a fun, educational, team-building experience that provides valuable insight into what life can be like for people who have no choice but to live on the streets day in day out.

Don't worry if you can't make the actual date. We'd love you to participate at a time and location that suits you, so feel free to register your group on our page for the time you're hoping to run it.

Please sponsor generously. Find the group, school, company or person you want to sponsor on the right hand side, or scroll down. If you can't find them please get in touch getinvolved@porchlight.org.uk

Your donation will be helping people facing the devastating effects of homelessness or the challenges of mental ill health in Kent. We can't do this without you. Thank you so much for everything you do!
