Story

Join us for a special 50th Anniversary edition of the Taunton Big Sleep Out and help celebrate 50 years of changing lives in Somerset. For one night, participants will sleep outdoors to raise vital funds and awareness for people experiencing homelessness. It’s a simple but powerful way to show solidarity and support those on their journey towards safety, stability, and a better future.

All funds raised go directly towards Arc’s accommodation and support services, helping people move beyond homelessness and rebuild their lives. This is more than just a night under the stars, it’s an opportunity to take action, reflect, and be part of a milestone year for a charity that has been transforming lives for half a century.

Whether you join as an individual, with friends, or as part of a team, your participation makes a real difference. Sign up today, help us celebrate 50 years of hope, housing, and dignity, and be part of a community committed to ending homelessness in Somerset.

I Participated in the Big Sleep Out’ last year for the first time. Apart from the obvious, raising money for Arc, I felt it did help raise awareness. Whilst there I felt a sense of comradeship amongst us all, we were all passionate about the cause and it was interesting to see the diversity of the different people all sharing the same purpose - to help end homelessness. - Louise Past Participant.
