Story

The number of rough sleepers in Slough is still rising and there is a real need for shelter during the coldest months of the year. 

The Slough Winter Shelter is now in its 4th year and in January 2017 will open again - each night to the end of March, taking up to 20 rough sleepers each night. and providing a safe, warm, dry place to sleep. 

This is the 2nd year of the 'Slough Sleepout for the Homeless' solely to fund the Shelter – on average, it costs £15 per rough sleeper each night to run the Shelter.  

This is a chance to get involved and support the Shelter, by sleeping outside together for one night. It is a fully managed and secure environment where you can join many others for a night of solidarity, entertainment and fun -  and a night where you too can experience a night in a cardboard box. 

Join us - bring your friends! We promise you a night you will never forget.

If you haven't already, then please register at londonandsloughrun.org once you have set up your Fundraising page.

About the charity

We started in the mid 1980's and provide soup runs for the homeless and disadvantaged in London and Slough. In 2014 we started a winter night shelter in Slough. We began a food share program in 2020 collecting from supermarkets and distributing to a number of local Charities every day.
