Story
Sleeping rough so they don't have to!
We’re inviting you to join us and up to 100 others at Coventry & North Warwickshire Cricket Club on Saturday 28th September, 7pm until 7am for a SleepOut in aid of homelessness. You’ll be joined by other like-minded people who want to make a difference in our great city by sleeping in the cold for one night.
By raising funds and working together, we can stop the sticky plaster mentality and get to the root issues with a plan to eradicate homelessness in the city by providing people with housing, rehabilitation, job opportunities and the support they need to get back on their feet.
We want to make Coventry an example for the whole world to follow. We’re a big city, with a proud heritage of humanity and resilience. We can do this. We just need you!
Our chosen charity:

Emmaus provide a home and meaningful work to 18 formerly homeless adults in the Coventry and Warwickshire area.They supply accommodation, all meals, basic clothing and toiletries along with support within a secure environment. In return, the companions work within the community and social enterprises to the best of their abilities.
