We are taking a stand against homelessness by bedding down for one night at this beautiful venue in a single act of compassion to help save veteran lives. This is not for the faint hearted - we have previously run our BIG Sleep events even when temperatures have plummeted. The event promises to be a powerful, reflective and yet humbling experience as we bed down like those who are homeless. For us it will just one night, and in the morning we can return to our warm homes and comfortable beds.

The money raised will specifically fund our work to help more veterans off the street and welcome them into our Gloucestershire and Bristol homes. We offer a range of support through 17 bed spaces in these areas. In the last two years, we have supported 25 veterans, aged between 19-64 through our Gloucestershire home and a further 20 aged between 18-73, in our two Bristol homes.

Working alongside the veteran, we create opportunities for employment, training and education, so the veteran can live an independent live outside of the military community.
