Story

**Please note** if you are part of Kent Scouts and associated groups, you have your very own designated Just Giving Campaign. Please sign up there, rather than here. Look for the Kent Scouts Big Cardboard Sleep Out. For everyone else, please sign up here...

For one night, people across Kent (and beyond) are sleeping outside to experience a glimpse of what it's like to be homeless. Join us as we mark World Homelessness Day on October 10th and raise money for the many people for whom this is a daily reality.

On any given night there are 248 people sleeping rough in Kent (according to our latest figures). Imagine what could be achieved if we matched that number of people participating in this sleep out and raised at least £50 per person! We could save so many lives. And that's the point here. One night outside for their many. Join us. And let's make a stand for people struggling with homelessness.
