Story

Our event has changed over recent weeks and days, but we still want to raise funds and awareness of homelessness and the work we do. Some of our original participants continue to make plans to sleep in tents, on sofas or the floor.

As a small Housing Association we work in partnership to support those who are vulnerable, homeless or at risk of homelessness. Our 19 bed hostel provides Supported Housing for young people who are in difficult circumstances and need somewhere safe and secure to stay.

Our 2020 SleepEasy aims to raise funds towards our House to Home Appeal. We are converting a old listed house in to a modern shared home. For more information see our Blog and Newsletter on our Website. It is vital that the work continues on this house as it will help us recover from the challenges currently we face.

During this time we are working with other Keyworkers to secure support, food and supplies for our tenants. We are challenged by the isolation they feel, and are concerned about the impact this has on their mental health.

Please help us make this event a success.
