Planning a sleep out event shouldnt aim to replicate homelessness, and organisers/participants should never put themselves in a position of danger or vulnerability.

However, it can give those taking part an important insight into the housing emergency and a better understanding of the causes and challenges of homelessness.

Make sure you check out our sleep out fundraising pack for tadvice and guidance on how to organise a successful, meaningful and safe epxeirence for you and your participants.
